MaRS: A Multi-modality Very-high-resolution Remote Sensing Foundation Model with Cross-Granularity Meta-Modality Learning

AAAI 2026technical

The multi-modality remote sensing foundation model (MM-RSFM) has made notable progress recently. However, most existing approaches remain limited to medium-resolution, single-modality, restricting their performance in fine-grained downstream applications such as disaster response and urban planning.

OpenDPR: Open-Vocabulary Change Detection via Vision-Centric Diffusion-Guided Prototype Retrieval for Remote Sensing Imagery

CVPR 2026

Open-vocabulary change detection (OVCD) seeks to recognize arbitrary changes of interest by enabling generalization beyond a fixed set of predefined classes. We reformulate OVCD as a two-stage pipeline: first generate class-agnostic change proposals using visual foundation models (VFMs) such as SAM

DynamicVL: Benchmarking Multimodal Large Language Models for Dynamic City Understanding

NeurIPS 2025poster

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in visual understanding, but their application to long-term Earth observation analysis remains limited, primarily focusing on single-temporal or bi-temporal imagery. To address this gap, we introduce **DVL-Suite**, a…

EarthVQA: Towards Queryable Earth via Relational Reasoning-Based Remote Sensing Visual Question Answering

AAAI 2024technical

Earth vision research typically focuses on extracting geospatial object locations and categories but neglects the exploration of relations between objects and comprehensive reasoning. Based on city planning needs, we develop a multi-modal multi-task VQA dataset (EarthVQA) to advance relational reaso…

Class Prior-Free Positive-Unlabeled Learning with Taylor Variational Loss for Hyperspectral Remote Sensing Imagery

ICCV 2023poster

Positive-unlabeled learning (PU learning) in hyperspectral remote sensing imagery (HSI) is aimed at learning a binary classifier from positive and unlabeled data, which has broad prospects in various earth vision applications. However, when PU learning meets limited labeled HSI, the unlabeled data m…

Change Is Everywhere: Single-Temporal Supervised Object Change Detection in Remote Sensing Imagery

ICCV 2021poster

For high spatial resolution (HSR) remote sensing images, bitemporal supervised learning always dominates change detection using many pairwise labeled bitemporal images. However, it is very expensive and time-consuming to pairwise label large-scale bitemporal HSR remote sensing images. In this paper,…

Foreground-Aware Relation Network for Geospatial Object Segmentation in High Spatial Resolution Remote Sensing Imagery

CVPR 2020poster

Geospatial object segmentation, as a particular semantic segmentation task, always faces with larger-scale variation, larger intra-class variance of background, and foreground-background imbalance in the high spatial resolution (HSR) remote sensing imagery. However, general semantic segmentation met…
