SARES-DEIM: Sparse Mixture-of-Experts Meets DETR for Clutter-Aware SAR Ship Detection

SARES-DEIM is a SAR ship detection framework that builds on the DETR architecture. It introduces a sparse mixture‑of‑experts module, SARESMoE, which routes features to wavelet, spatial, and frequency experts, and a Space‑to‑Depth Enhancement Pyramid (SDEP) neck that preserves high‑resolution cues for small targets. The method achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on HRSID and SAR‑Ship‑Dataset, delivering 76.4% mAP50:95 and 93.8% mAP50 while maintaining efficient inference at 136.5 FPS on an NVIDIA A40 GPU.

RLG-TPV: Radar- and LiDAR-Guided Tri-Perspective View Fusion for Camera-Radar 3D Object Detection

RLG-TPV introduces a multimodal Tri-Perspective View framework that fuses camera, radar, and training‑time LiDAR data for 3D object detection. It uses radar and LiDAR to guide a ray‑deformable attention lift, refining depth distributions and providing geometric supervision for side and front planes, while radar cross‑section awareness spreads evidence spatially. On nuScenes, the method attains 0.4981 mAP and 0.5959 NDS, improving orientation and velocity accuracy by about 32 % and 31 % over the CRN baseline.

Cross-modal learning for SAR target recognition using optical vision foundation models

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.

Lightweight Adaptation of General-Purpose VLMs for Multispectral and SAR Image Understanding

The paper demonstrates a lightweight method to adapt general-purpose vision‑language models (VLMs) for multispectral and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image understanding. By rendering each observation as five optical views and one SAR view, naming them in the prompt, and applying LoRA to the language network and selected visual transformer blocks, the authors enable VLMs to process band composites, spectral indices, and radar backscatter without retraining a new foundation model. On a balanced six‑class land‑cover benchmark from BigEarthNet‑v2, the adapted Qwen3‑VL achieves a micro F1 score of 0.8275, and the same protocol improves four other VLMs and transfers to flood verification and captioning tasks.

C-DiffSET: Leveraging Latent Diffusion for SAR-to-EO Image Translation with Confidence-Guided Reliable Object Generation

C‑DiffSET is a SAR‑to‑EO image translation framework that uses a pretrained Latent Diffusion Model to adapt SAR imagery to the EO domain. The method exploits the pretrained VAE encoder’s ability to map SAR and EO images into a shared latent space, even when SAR inputs contain varying noise levels. A confidence‑guided diffusion loss further improves pixel‑wise fidelity by reducing artifacts such as appearing or disappearing objects, leading to state‑of‑the‑art results across multiple datasets.
