 ==== Purpose ====
-The dynamic MLP allows DOFA to handle varying sensor specifications without requiring multiple fixed architectures. When input data has 2 channels (SAR), 3 channels (RGB), or 202 channels (hyperspectral), the same model architecture can adapt through these dynamic layers rather than needing separate models for each modality.
