arXiv:2510. 22665v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a critical imaging modality due to its all-weather operational capability.
The paper proposes a cross‑modal framework that uses a frozen DINOv3 optical vision foundation model to create class‑level prototypes for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) target recognition. By aligning SAR embeddings to these optical prototypes, the SAR model learns to classify SAR images without needing paired optical data. Experiments on the UNICORNv2 dataset show that this prototype alignment improves SAR classification accuracy compared to baseline methods and yields clearer class separation in the embedding space.

The paper introduces BMT, a unified hierarchical Vision Transformer that jointly performs SAR-to-optical image translation and semantic segmentation. It incorporates a LocalViTBlock, an enhanced output module, a ControlNet-style conditional injection, and a bounded Kendall uncertainty weighting scheme to balance the two tasks. Experiments on paired and unpaired datasets demonstrate competitive performance in both translation quality and segmentation accuracy.
Agricultural monitoring faces unique challenges, arising from the landscape's complex temporal, phenological, and climate dynamics, yet monitoring them is critical for ensuring food security. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites offer all-weather day-night imaging capability supporting key monitoring tasks including crop type mapping, yield prediction and phenological event detection.

SAREO‑FM is a foundation model that separates semantic supervision from reconstruction supervision in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and electro‑optical (EO) imagery. It uses modality tokens for masked reconstruction and learnable semantic queries guided by a pretrained vision foundation model to capture scene content. Trained on the million‑scale SAR‑1M corpus, the model shows strong unimodal transfer for SAR and EO alone and significant improvements when both modalities are combined.

ProSR is a new method for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) super‑resolution that treats the task as a discrete token prediction problem in a quantized latent space. By mapping SAR signal features to discrete scattering primitives and using a self‑supervised backbone to extract label‑free semantic priors, ProSR preserves the impulsive, physically consistent scattering statistics of SAR images. The approach includes Semantic‑Aligned Detail Encoding and a Prototype‑Map‑Guided Attention mechanism, and it has been validated on a large‑scale 0.25 m resolution benchmark from the Umbra Open Dataset, achieving superior visual quality while maintaining essential scattering characteristics.
