CarbonCLIP: Enhance Carbon Prediction from Satellite Imagery via Integrated Street-View Semantics and Temporal Context Training

arXiv:2607. 07292v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurately estimating urban carbon emissions is critical for sustainable urban planning, yet many existing approaches remain difficult to apply consistently across cities due to data-source heterogeneity and the lack of fine-grained semantic-temporal context in remote sensing data.

Fusion of Pervasive RF Data with Spatial Images via Vision Transformers for Enhanced Mapping in Smart Cities

arXiv:2508. 03736v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this paper, we present a deep learning-based approach that integrates the DINOv2 architecture to improve building mapping by combining (possibly erroneous) maps from open-source platforms with pervasive radio frequency (RF) data collected from multiple wireless user equipments and base stations.

Geo-Embed: Towards Unified Multimodal Embeddings for Urban Understanding

Geospatial and urban applications increasingly require models to compare heterogeneous evidence across street-view imagery, remote-sensing observations, text descriptions, region proposals, and temporal change cues. However, existing multimodal embedding models and benchmarks are still largely designed and evaluated around general-purpose image-text matching, leaving unclear whether unified embedding space can support heterogeneous geospatial tasks involving spatial relationships, fine-grained semantics, and temporal changes.
