Efficient Remote Sensing Instance Segmentation with Linear-Time State Space Distilled Visual Foundation Models

The computational complexity of Transformers scales quadratically with the number of tokens, which significantly constrains the efficiency of vision models, particularly recent ViT-based foundation models in dense prediction tasks. Instance segmentation, a typical dense visual prediction task in the remote sensing field, faces similar challenges. In this paper, inspired by the recent advances of knowledge distillation in large language models, we introduce RS4D - a new remote sensing instance segmentation method with linear computational complexity, which addresses the inefficiency of long sequence modeling through distilled state space modeling (SSM). We propose an adaptive noise and masking knowledge distillation training method for pre-training lightweight SSM backbones, which effectively compresses knowledge from the vast self-attention space into a compact, dense linear state space. We also design a remote sensing image instance segmentation architecture based on this lightweight visual encoder, where we explore variants of three different backbones and two segmentation heads. Extensive experiments are conducted on multiple benchmark datasets, including SSDD, WHU, and NWPU. Compared to ViT-based approaches, our proposed SSM backbone achieves an 8x reduction in parameters and a 9x reduction in FLOPs while maintaining comparable or superior accuracy to both ViT- and CNN-based instance segmentation methods. The implementation codes have been publicly available at https://github.com/QinzheYang/RS4D.

SFR-Net: Learning Scale-Frustum Representations for Ultra-Wide Area Remote Sensing Image Segmentation

Pixel count and geographical coverage are two key characteristics of remote sensing images. Existing remote sensing image segmentation methods typically focus on images with either a small pixel count or a large pixel count but limited geographical coverage. In this paper, we introduce a novel segmentation task targeting ultra-wide area (UWA) remote sensing images, characterized by both a large pixel count and extremely wide geographical coverage. The core challenges of UWA segmentation lie in simultaneously handling ground objects with significantly varying scales and maintaining long-range contextual semantic continuity. To address these challenges, we propose the Scale-Frustum Representation Network (SFR-Net). Inspired by the viewing frustums of remote sensing images captured from different altitudes, we construct scale-frustum representations, enabling unified modeling of ground objects and contextual features at different scales. Furthermore, we design a cascaded cross-scale fusion mechanism to effectively integrate these representations, enhancing local semantic understanding while ensuring long-range contextual continuity. Experimental results on GID and FBPS demonstrate that SFR-Net achieves state-of-the-art performance, improving mIoU by 1.72% and 4.29%, respectively, over the strongest competing methods. In addition, the proposed scale-frustum representations can be integrated into generic segmentation networks to improve both segmentation accuracy and convergence speed. The implementation code will be publicly available at https://github.com/ChuyuZhong/SFR-Net.

Arbitrarily Conditioned Hierarchical Flows for Spatiotemporal Events

Events in spatiotemporal systems are ubiquitous, yet modeling their complex distributions remains challenging. Existing point process models often rely on strong structural assumptions and are typically limited to autoregressive, event-by-event prediction. As a result, they struggle to support broader inference tasks such as inverse inference, trajectory reconstruction, and recovery of missing event locations. We introduce Arbitrarily Conditioned Hierarchical Flows (ARCH), a hierarchical flow matching framework for spatiotemporal event modeling. ARCH is expressive enough to capture complex event distributions while enabling tractable and accurate computation of conditional intensities, which quantify instantaneous event risk. Built on a history-encoder-generative-decoder architecture, ARCH introduces a hybrid masking strategy for flexible conditioning on arbitrary observed events. This enables a unified treatment of forecasting, inverse inference, and partial trajectory recovery within a single framework. Experiments on synthetic and real-world datasets show that ARCH consistently outperforms existing baselines across both prediction and conditional inference tasks.

CloudMamba: An Uncertainty-Guided Dual-Scale Mamba Network for Cloud Detection in Remote Sensing Imagery

Cloud detection in remote sensing imagery is a fundamental, critical, and highly challenging problem. Existing deep learning-based cloud detection methods generally formulate it as a single-stage pixel-wise binary segmentation task with one forward pass. However, such single-stage approaches exhibit ambiguity and uncertainty in thin-cloud regions and struggle to accurately handle fragmented clouds and boundary details. In this paper, we propose a novel deep learning framework termed CloudMamba. To address the ambiguity in thin-cloud regions, we introduce an uncertainty-guided two-stage cloud detection strategy. An embedded uncertainty estimation module is proposed to automatically quantify the confidence of thin-cloud segmentation, and a second-stage refinement segmentation is introduced to improve the accuracy in low-confidence hard regions. To better handle fragmented clouds and fine-grained boundary details, we design a dual-scale Mamba network based on a CNN-Mamba hybrid architecture. Compared with Transformer-based models with quadratic computational complexity, the proposed method maintains linear computational complexity while effectively capturing both large-scale structural characteristics and small-scale boundary details of clouds, enabling accurate delineation of overall cloud morphology and precise boundary segmentation. Extensive experiments conducted on the GF1_WHU and Levir_CS public datasets demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms existing approaches across multiple segmentation accuracy metrics, while offering high efficiency and process transparency.

Multi-Modal Building Change Detection for Large-Scale Small Changes: Benchmark and Baseline

Change detection in optical remote sensing imagery is susceptible to illumination fluctuations, seasonal changes, and variations in surface land-cover materials. Relying solely on RGB imagery often produces pseudo-changes and leads to semantic ambiguity in features. Incorporating near-infrared (NIR) information provides heterogeneous physical cues that are complementary to visible light, thereby enhancing the discriminability of building materials and tiny structures while improving detection accuracy. However, existing multi-modal datasets generally lack high-resolution and accurately registered bi-temporal imagery, and current methods often fail to fully exploit the inherent heterogeneity between these modalities. To address these issues, we introduce the Large-scale Small-change Multi-modal Dataset (LSMD), a bi-temporal RGB-NIR building change detection benchmark dataset targeting small changes in realistic scenarios, providing a rigorous testing platform for evaluating multi-modal change detection methods in complex environments. Based on LSMD, we further propose the Multi-modal Spectral Complementarity Network (MSCNet) to achieve effective cross-modal feature fusion. MSCNet comprises three key components: the Neighborhood Context Enhancement Module (NCEM) to strengthen local spatial details, the Cross-modal Alignment and Interaction Module (CAIM) to enable deep interaction between RGB and NIR features, and the Saliency-aware Multisource Refinement Module (SMRM) to progressively refine fused features. Extensive experiments demonstrate that MSCNet effectively leverages multi-modal information and consistently outperforms existing methods under multiple input configurations, validating its efficacy for fine-grained building change detection.

Deep Gaussian Processes for Functional Maps

Learning mappings between functional spaces, also known as function-on-function regression, is a fundamental problem in functional data analysis with broad applications, including spatiotemporal forecasting, curve prediction, and climate modeling. Existing approaches often struggle to capture complex nonlinear relationships and/or provide reliable uncertainty quantification when data are noisy, sparse, or irregularly sampled. To address these challenges, we propose Deep Gaussian Processes for Functional Maps (DGPFM). Our method constructs a sequence of GP-based linear and nonlinear transformations directly in function space, leveraging kernel integral transforms, GP conditional means, and nonlinear activations sampled from Gaussian processes. A key insight enables a simplified and flexible implementation: under fixed evaluation locations, discrete approximations of kernel integral transforms reduce to direct functional integral transforms, allowing seamless integration of diverse transform designs. To support scalable probabilistic inference, we adopt inducing points and whitening transformations within a variational learning framework. Empirical results on both real-world and synthetic benchmark datasets demonstrate the advantages of DGPFM in terms of predictive accuracy and uncertainty calibration.

FoBa: A Foreground-Background co-Guided Method and New Benchmark for Remote Sensing Semantic Change Detection

Despite the remarkable progress achieved in remote sensing semantic change detection (SCD), two major challenges remain. At the data level, existing SCD datasets suffer from limited change categories, insufficient change types, and a lack of fine-grained class definitions, making them inadequate to fully support practical applications. At the methodological level, most current approaches underutilize change information, typically treating it as a post-processing step to enhance spatial consistency, which constrains further improvements in model performance. To address these issues, we construct a new benchmark for remote sensing SCD, LevirSCD. Focused on the Beijing area, the dataset covers 16 change categories and 210 specific change types, with more fine-grained class definitions (e.g., roads are divided into unpaved and paved roads). Furthermore, we propose a foreground-background co-guided SCD (FoBa) method, which leverages foregrounds that focus on regions of interest and backgrounds enriched with contextual information to guide the model collaboratively, thereby alleviating semantic ambiguity while enhancing its ability to detect subtle changes. Considering the requirements of bi-temporal interaction and spatial consistency in SCD, we introduce a Gated Interaction Fusion (GIF) module along with a simple consistency loss to further enhance the model's detection performance. Extensive experiments on three datasets (SECOND, JL1, and the proposed LevirSCD) demonstrate that FoBa achieves competitive results compared to current SOTA methods, with improvements of 1.48%, 3.61%, and 2.81% in the SeK metric, respectively.

RSRefSeg 2: Decoupling Referring Remote Sensing Image Segmentation with Foundation Models

Referring Remote Sensing Image Segmentation provides a flexible and fine-grained framework for remote sensing scene analysis via vision-language collaborative interpretation. Current approaches predominantly utilize a three-stage pipeline encompassing dual-modal encoding, cross-modal interaction, and pixel decoding. These methods demonstrate significant limitations in managing complex semantic relationships and achieving precise cross-modal alignment, largely due to their coupled processing mechanism that conflates target localization with boundary delineation. This architectural coupling amplifies error propagation under semantic ambiguity while restricting model generalizability and interpretability. To address these issues, we propose RSRefSeg 2, a decoupling paradigm that reformulates the conventional workflow into a collaborative dual-stage framework: coarse localization followed by fine segmentation. RSRefSeg 2 integrates CLIP's cross-modal alignment strength with SAM's segmentation generalizability through strategic foundation model collaboration. Specifically, CLIP is employed as the dual-modal encoder to activate target features within its pre-aligned semantic space and generate localization prompts. To mitigate CLIP's misactivation challenges in multi-entity scenarios described by referring texts, a cascaded second-order prompter is devised, which enhances precision through implicit reasoning via decomposition of text embeddings into complementary semantic subspaces. These optimized semantic prompts subsequently direct the SAM to generate pixel-level refined masks, thereby completing the semantic transmission pipeline. Extensive experiments (RefSegRS, RRSIS-D, and RISBench) demonstrate that RSRefSeg 2 surpasses contemporary methods in segmentation accuracy (+~3% gIoU) and complex semantic interpretation.

Fine-grained Hierarchical Crop Type Classification from Integrated Hyperspectral EnMAP Data and Multispectral Sentinel-2 Time Series: A Large-scale Dataset and Dual-stream Transformer Method

Fine-grained crop type classification serves as the fundamental basis for large-scale crop mapping and plays a vital role in ensuring food security. It requires simultaneous capture of both phenological dynamics (obtained from multi-temporal satellite data like Sentinel-2) and subtle spectral variations (demanding nanometer-scale spectral resolution from hyperspectral imagery). Research combining these two modalities remains scarce currently due to challenges in hyperspectral data acquisition and crop types annotation costs. To address these issues, we construct a hierarchical hyperspectral crop dataset (H2Crop) by integrating 30m-resolution EnMAP hyperspectral data with Sentinel-2 time series. With over one million annotated field parcels organized in a four-tier crop taxonomy, H2Crop establishes a vital benchmark for fine-grained agricultural crop classification and hyperspectral image processing. We propose a dual-stream Transformer architecture that synergistically processes these modalities. It coordinates two specialized pathways: a spectral-spatial Transformer extracts fine-grained signatures from hyperspectral EnMAP data, while a temporal Swin Transformer extracts crop growth patterns from Sentinel-2 time series. The designed hierarchical classification head with hierarchical fusion then simultaneously delivers multi-level crop type classification across all taxonomic tiers. Experiments demonstrate that adding hyperspectral EnMAP data to Sentinel-2 time series yields a 4.2% average F1-scores improvement (peaking at 6.3%). Extensive comparisons also confirm our method's higher accuracy over existing deep learning approaches for crop type classification and the consistent benefits of hyperspectral data across varying temporal windows and crop change scenarios.

SeG-SR: Integrating Semantic Knowledge into Remote Sensing Image Super-Resolution via Vision-Language Model

High-resolution (HR) remote sensing imagery plays a vital role in a wide range of applications, including urban planning and environmental monitoring. However, due to limitations in sensors and data transmission links, the images acquired in practice often suffer from resolution degradation. Remote Sensing Image Super-Resolution (RSISR) aims to reconstruct HR images from low-resolution (LR) inputs, providing a cost-effective and efficient alternative to direct HR image acquisition. Existing RSISR methods primarily focus on low-level characteristics in pixel space, while neglecting the high-level understanding of remote sensing scenes. This may lead to semantically inconsistent artifacts in the reconstructed results. Motivated by this observation, our work aims to explore the role of high-level semantic knowledge in improving RSISR performance. We propose a Semantic-Guided Super-Resolution framework, SeG-SR, which leverages Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to extract semantic knowledge from input images and uses it to guide the super resolution (SR) process. Specifically, we first design a Semantic Feature Extraction Module (SFEM) that utilizes a pretrained VLM to extract semantic knowledge from remote sensing images. Next, we propose a Semantic Localization Module (SLM), which derives a series of semantic guidance from the extracted semantic knowledge. Finally, we develop a Learnable Modulation Module (LMM) that uses semantic guidance to modulate the features extracted by the SR network, effectively incorporating high-level scene understanding into the SR pipeline. We validate the effectiveness and generalizability of SeG-SR through extensive experiments: SeG-SR achieves state-of-the-art performance on three datasets, and consistently improves performance across various SR architectures. Notably, for the x4 SR task on UCMerced dataset, it attained a PSNR of 29.3042 dB and an SSIM of 0.7961.

AgriFM: A Multi-source Temporal Remote Sensing Foundation Model for Agriculture Mapping

Accurate crop mapping fundamentally relies on modeling multi-scale spatiotemporal patterns, where spatial scales range from individual field textures to landscape-level context, and temporal scales capture both short-term phenological transitions and full growing-season dynamics. Transformer-based remote sensing foundation models (RSFMs) offer promising potential for crop mapping due to their innate ability for unified spatiotemporal processing. However, current RSFMs remain suboptimal for crop mapping: they either employ fixed spatiotemporal windows that ignore the multi-scale nature of crop systems or completely disregard temporal information by focusing solely on spatial patterns. To bridge these gaps, we present AgriFM, a multi-source remote sensing foundation model specifically designed for agricultural crop mapping. Our approach begins by establishing the necessity of simultaneous hierarchical spatiotemporal feature extraction, leading to the development of a modified Video Swin Transformer architecture where temporal down-sampling is synchronized with spatial scaling operations. This modified backbone enables efficient unified processing of long time-series satellite inputs. AgriFM leverages temporally rich data streams from three satellite sources including MODIS, Landsat-8/9 and Sentinel-2, and is pre-trained on a global representative dataset comprising over 25 million image samples supervised by land cover products. The resulting framework incorporates a versatile decoder architecture that dynamically fuses these learned spatiotemporal representations, supporting diverse downstream tasks. Comprehensive evaluations demonstrate AgriFM's superior performance over conventional deep learning approaches and state-of-the-art general-purpose RSFMs across all downstream tasks. Codes will be available at https://github.com/flyakon/AgriFM.

DynamicVis: Dynamic Visual Perception for Efficient Remote Sensing Foundation Models

The advancement of RS technology has enabled high-resolution Earth observation; however, interpreting these images using modern VFMs remains a significant challenge. Unlike object-centric natural images, RS imagery is fundamentally characterized by extreme target sparsity and massive spatial redundancy. Key objects of interest (e.g., ships, vehicles) often occupy less than 1% of the spatial extent, surrounded by vast, target-free backgrounds. Existing VFMs predominantly rely on uniform dense processing (e.g., ViTs) and pixel-reconstruction pre-training paradigms (e.g., MAE). These approaches inherently waste substantial computational capacity on modeling redundant backgrounds and inadvertently dilute the feature representations of small, sparse targets. To bridge this structural misalignment, we propose DynamicVis, a visual foundation model explicitly tailored to the sparse nature of RS imagery. Architecturally, DynamicVis introduces a Dynamic Region-Aware SSM that bypasses uniform computation. It adaptively routes and incrementally models only task-relevant, high-salience tokens while employing a parameter-free integration for background context, drastically reducing the complexity of processing ultra-long 2D token sequences ($\sim$100,000). Crucially, to equip the network with robust spatial-selection capabilities, we propose a novel Region-Level Meta-Embedding Multi-Instance Learning (MIL) pre-training paradigm. Trained on a million-scale dataset, this paradigm explicitly disentangles sparse foreground instances from dense backgrounds in the latent semantic space, overcoming the semantic ambiguity of conventional pixel-reconstruction methods. Extensive evaluations across nine diverse downstream tasks reveal that DynamicVis exhibits exceptional efficacy, particularly dominating in sparse-target and instance-level perception tasks (e.g., small object detection, and change detection).

TriDF: Triplane-Accelerated Density Fields for Few-Shot Remote Sensing Novel View Synthesis

Remote sensing novel view synthesis (NVS) offers significant potential for 3D interpretation of remote sensing scenes, with important applications in urban planning and environmental monitoring. However, remote sensing scenes frequently lack sufficient multi-view images due to acquisition constraints. While existing NVS methods tend to overfit when processing limited input views, advanced few-shot NVS methods are computationally intensive and perform sub-optimally in remote sensing scenes. This paper presents TriDF, an efficient hybrid 3D representation for fast remote sensing NVS from as few as 3 input views. Our approach decouples color and volume density information, modeling them independently to reduce the computational burden on implicit radiance fields and accelerate reconstruction. We explore the potential of the triplane representation in few-shot NVS tasks by mapping high-frequency color information onto this compact structure, and the direct optimization of feature planes significantly speeds up convergence. Volume density is modeled as continuous density fields, incorporating reference features from neighboring views through image-based rendering to compensate for limited input data. Additionally, we introduce depth-guided optimization based on point clouds, which effectively mitigates the overfitting problem in few-shot NVS. Comprehensive experiments across multiple remote sensing scenes demonstrate that our hybrid representation achieves a 30x speed increase compared to NeRF-based methods, while simultaneously improving rendering quality metrics over advanced few-shot methods (7.4% increase in PSNR and 3.4% in SSIM).

Heterogeneous Mixture of Experts for Remote Sensing Image Super-Resolution

Remote sensing image super-resolution (SR) aims to reconstruct high-resolution remote sensing images from low-resolution inputs, thereby addressing limitations imposed by sensors and imaging conditions. However, the inherent characteristics of remote sensing images, including diverse ground object types and complex details, pose significant challenges to achieving high-quality reconstruction. Existing methods typically employ a uniform structure to process various types of ground objects without distinction, making it difficult to adapt to the complex characteristics of remote sensing images. To address this issue, we introduce a Mixture of Experts (MoE) model and design a set of heterogeneous experts. These experts are organized into multiple expert groups, where experts within each group are homogeneous while being heterogeneous across groups. This design ensures that specialized activation parameters can be employed to handle the diverse and intricate details of ground objects effectively. To better accommodate the heterogeneous experts, we propose a multi-level feature aggregation strategy to guide the routing process. Additionally, we develop a dual-routing mechanism to adaptively select the optimal expert for each pixel. Experiments conducted on the UCMerced and AID datasets demonstrate that our proposed method achieves superior SR reconstruction accuracy compared to state-of-the-art methods. The code will be available at https://github.com/Mr-Bamboo/MFG-HMoE.

Pseudo-Physics-Informed Neural Operators: Enhancing Operator Learning from Limited Data

Neural operators have shown great potential in surrogate modeling. However, training a well-performing neural operator typically requires a substantial amount of data, which can pose a major challenge in complex applications. In such scenarios, detailed physical knowledge can be unavailable or difficult to obtain, and collecting extensive data is often prohibitively expensive. To mitigate this challenge, we propose the Pseudo Physics-Informed Neural Operator (PPI-NO) framework. PPI-NO constructs a surrogate physics system for the target system using partial differential equations (PDEs) derived from simple, rudimentary physics principles, such as basic differential operators. This surrogate system is coupled with a neural operator model, using an alternating update and learning process to iteratively enhance the model's predictive power. While the physics derived via PPI-NO may not mirror the ground-truth underlying physical laws -- hence the term ``pseudo physics'' -- this approach significantly improves the accuracy of standard operator learning models in data-scarce scenarios, which is evidenced by extensive evaluations across five benchmark tasks and a fatigue modeling application.

Semantic-CD: Remote Sensing Image Semantic Change Detection towards Open-vocabulary Setting

Remote sensing image semantic change detection is a method used to analyze remote sensing images, aiming to identify areas of change as well as categorize these changes within images of the same location taken at different times. Traditional change detection methods often face challenges in generalizing across semantic categories in practical scenarios. To address this issue, we introduce a novel approach called Semantic-CD, specifically designed for semantic change detection in remote sensing images. This method incorporates the open vocabulary semantics from the vision-language foundation model, CLIP. By utilizing CLIP's extensive vocabulary knowledge, our model enhances its ability to generalize across categories and improves segmentation through fully decoupled multi-task learning, which includes both binary change detection and semantic change detection tasks. Semantic-CD consists of four main components: a bi-temporal CLIP visual encoder for extracting features from bi-temporal images, an open semantic prompter for creating semantic cost volume maps with open vocabulary, a binary change detection decoder for generating binary change detection masks, and a semantic change detection decoder for producing semantic labels. Experimental results on the SECOND dataset demonstrate that Semantic-CD achieves more accurate masks and reduces semantic classification errors, illustrating its effectiveness in applying semantic priors from vision-language foundation models to SCD tasks.

RSRefSeg: Referring Remote Sensing Image Segmentation with Foundation Models

Referring remote sensing image segmentation is crucial for achieving fine-grained visual understanding through free-format textual input, enabling enhanced scene and object extraction in remote sensing applications. Current research primarily utilizes pre-trained language models to encode textual descriptions and align them with visual modalities, thereby facilitating the expression of relevant visual features. However, these approaches often struggle to establish robust alignments between fine-grained semantic concepts, leading to inconsistent representations across textual and visual information. To address these limitations, we introduce a referring remote sensing image segmentation foundational model, RSRefSeg. RSRefSeg leverages CLIP for visual and textual encoding, employing both global and local textual semantics as filters to generate referring-related visual activation features in the latent space. These activated features then serve as input prompts for SAM, which refines the segmentation masks through its robust visual generalization capabilities. Experimental results on the RRSIS-D dataset demonstrate that RSRefSeg outperforms existing methods, underscoring the effectiveness of foundational models in enhancing multimodal task comprehension.

Text2Earth: Unlocking Text-driven Remote Sensing Image Generation with a Global-Scale Dataset and a Foundation Model

Generative foundation models have advanced large-scale text-driven natural image generation, becoming a prominent research trend across various vertical domains. However, in the remote sensing field, there is still a lack of research on large-scale text-to-image (text2image) generation technology. Existing remote sensing image-text datasets are small in scale and confined to specific geographic areas and scene types. Besides, existing text2image methods have struggled to achieve global-scale, multi-resolution controllable, and unbounded image generation. To address these challenges, this paper presents two key contributions: the Git-10M dataset and the Text2Earth foundation model. Git-10M is a global-scale image-text dataset comprising 10.5 million image-text pairs, 5 times larger than the previous largest one. The dataset covers a wide range of geographic scenes and contains resolution information, significantly surpassing existing datasets in both size and diversity. Building on Git-10M, we propose Text2Earth, a 1.3 billion parameter generative foundation model based on the diffusion framework to model global-scale remote sensing scenes. Text2Earth integrates a resolution guidance mechanism, enabling users to specify image resolutions. A dynamic condition adaptation strategy is proposed for training and inference to improve image quality. Text2Earth excels in zero-shot text2image generation and demonstrates robust generalization and flexibility across multiple tasks, including unbounded scene construction, image editing, and cross-modal image generation. This robust capability surpasses previous models restricted to the basic fixed size and limited scene types. On the previous benchmark dataset, Text2Earth outperforms previous models with an improvement of +26.23 FID and +20.95% Zero-shot Cls-OA metric.Our project page is https://chen-yang-liu.github.io/Text2Earth
