TerraScope: Pixel-Grounded Visual Reasoning for Earth Observation

CVPR 2026

Vision-language models (VLMs) have shown promise in earth observation (EO), yet they struggle with tasks that require grounding complex spatial reasoning in precise pixel-level visual representations. To address this problem, we introduce TerraScope, a unified VLM that delivers pixel-grounded geospa

ImageNet-trained CNNs are not biased towards texture: Revisiting feature reliance through controlled suppression

NeurIPS 2025oral

The hypothesis that Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are inherently texture-biased has shaped much of the discourse on feature use in deep learning. We revisit this hypothesis by examining limitations in the cue-conflict experiment by Geirhos et al. To address these limitations, we propose a dom…

Unsupervised Contrastive Hashing for Cross-Modal Retrieval in Remote Sensing

ICASSP 2022accepted

The development of cross-modal retrieval systems that can search and retrieve semantically relevant data across different modalities based on a query in any modality has attracted great attention in remote sensing (RS). In this paper, we focus our attention on cross-modal text-image retrieval, where…
