OmniRSI: Taming Latent Diffusion for Unified Multimodal Remote Sensing Image Generation
Abstract
Multimodal remote sensing image generation emerges as a promising paradigm for recovering complete and complementary observations from heterogeneous and partially observed remote sensing data. However, existing methods predominantly depend on sensor-specific fine-tuning of natural image generation models, limiting unified multimodal generation capacity due to the absence of shared representations and robust conditioning mechanisms. To address these challenges, we propose OmniRSI, a unified multimodal remote sensing image generation model. Specifically, we develop a remote sensing-specific variational autoencoder that captures multimodal priors and promotes a locally smooth latent space for unified representation and robust reconstruction across diverse observed data. Building upon that, we fully adapt Stable Diffusion 3.5 with a ControlNet branch to support unified multimodal generation and translation conditioned on textual and visual cues. Besides, we devise a training-free cyclic latent alignment mechanism that iteratively enriches incomplete visual conditions with generated multimodal information, progressively improving guidance reliability while preserving observed measurements. We also construct RSI-MM, a large-scale dataset comprising 11.5M multi-resolution images with text annotations and partially paired data for training and evaluation. Extensive experiments verify that OmniRSI achieves superior performance in multimodal reconstruction, generation and translation.
