arXiv:2605. 00972v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Earth system science is producing increasingly large, high-dimensional datasets from both physics-based and AI-driven models.
DamageScope is a retrieval‑augmented framework that combines satellite imagery, Vision‑Language Models (VLMs), and Large Language Models (LLMs) to automate property damage assessment after natural disasters. It uses a Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture to extract structured visual representations from satellite images, enabling interactive natural language queries. The system introduces a multi‑vector embedding‑based clustering algorithm that improves scalability and reduces indexing time by up to 14×, and a dual‑store data architecture that cuts LLM API calls, lowering operational cost and response latency by roughly 3×.

The paper introduces RSMEB, a unified benchmark for remote‑sensing multimodal retrieval that evaluates both cross‑modal and interleaved retrieval across 21 tasks under a single ranking protocol. It also presents VLM2GeoVec, an instruction‑conditioned single‑encoder model that embeds image, text, bounding‑box, and geo‑coordinate tokens into one sequence and achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on region‑caption, referring‑expression, and semantic geo‑aware retrieval while remaining competitive on conventional tasks. The authors provide code, checkpoints, and data on GitHub to facilitate reproducibility.
Open-vocabulary Earth observation (EO) aims to localize geospatial concepts specified in natural language rather than a fixed label set. Existing benchmarks, however, usually cover narrow category vocabularies or limited query forms.

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.
