The paper introduces KnowChange, a framework that uses pretrained vision‑language models to guide the synthesis of change data for remote sensing. By reasoning about plausible change locations and class transitions, KnowChange flexibly generates diverse change types within a unified pipeline. Experiments show that data produced by KnowChange outperforms existing synthetic datasets in both synthetic‑to‑real transfer and data augmentation scenarios, even at a compact scale.

arXiv:2606. 27410v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The primary goal of Remote Sensing Image Change Captioning (RSICC) is to automatically generate descriptions of changes between remote sensing images captured at different time points.
The core challenge of heterogeneous change detection in remote sensing imagery lies in effectively decoupling genuine land-cover changes from significant modal disparities caused by distinct imaging mechanisms. These intrinsic inconsistencies are prone to introducing pseudo-changes, thereby constraining detection accuracy.

arXiv:2607. 04750v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present FM-ChangeNet, a pathwise-supervised framework for change detection that reformulates bi-temporal reasoning as continuous transport in feature space rather than static endpoint comparison.
arXiv:2608. 01856v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Bi-temporal remote-sensing disaster change captioning often needs to identify sparse and spatially localized changes across large pre- and post-event scenes and then translate them into coherent, factual descriptions.
The paper introduces the Real‑Calibrated Synthetic‑First Data Engine, a modular pipeline that integrates controllable diffusion‑based synthetic image generation with multi‑stage curation, filtering, and optional uncertainty‑driven selection and human verification. Designed as a CLI‑based framework, it allows independent configuration of generation, filtering, selection, and validation modules to enhance reproducibility and flexibility in real‑world data workflows. Empirical tests on human pose estimation demonstrate that synthetic data can boost a real‑data baseline when used as low‑cost augmentation, though synthetic‑only training still lags behind real‑only performance, underscoring the importance of data‑centric orchestration in low‑data regimes.
