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.

We present FoundationGeo, a two-stage framework that explicitly bridges relative and metric prediction via spatial calibration and principled data design. Stage 1 learns a high-fidelity, affine-invariant geometry model by initializing with DINOv3 and training on a curated 10.
The paper presents 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 of 0.8275, and the same protocol improves four other VLMs and transfers to flood verification and captioning tasks.
"whyItMatters":"The study shows that existing VLMs can be repurposed for multispectral and SAR tasks through simple input rendering and compact LoRA adaptation, avoiding the need for dedicated encoders and domain pretraining."
