arXiv:2606. 31745v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Remote sensing change detection (CD) traditionally focuses on pixel-level binary segmentation, which identifies where changes occur but neither what nor why.

arXiv:2608. 13344v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon Earth observation reasoning requires models to organize multi-stage geographic evolution, localize spatial changes, detect temporal anomalies, and infer future from extended image sequences.

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.

arXiv:2608. 06150v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Earth-surface monitoring requires change detection models capable of recognizing arbitrary semantic categories.
By Zijie Wang, Chen Zhong, Wei He
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.
