Efficient Remote Sensing Instance Segmentation with Linear-Time State Space Distilled Visual Foundation Models

The computational complexity of Transformers scales quadratically with the number of tokens, which significantly constrains the efficiency of vision models, particularly recent ViT-based foundation models in dense prediction tasks. Instance segmentation, a typical dense visual prediction task in the remote sensing field, faces similar challenges.

The Last Remote Sensing Model Built by Humans? Casting Any Earth Observation Task as Recursive Self-Improvement

The paper demonstrates that Earth observation (EO) models can be automatically constructed and refined by a general-purpose coding agent when provided with a harness (defining permissible tools) and a verifier (defining success criteria). By casting any verifiable EO task—using labeled benchmarks, independent sensors, physical models, or repeated observations—as such a harness-verifier pair, the agent recursively improves its own outputs. On four EO benchmarks covering optical, SAR, and multispectral time-series imagery, the agent-built models outperform state‑of‑the‑art methods while retaining most accuracy with only about 1 % of the training labels.

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.

GeoChrono: Benchmarking and Rethinking Long-Term Temporal Understanding in Remote Sensing

arXiv:2607. 15768v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Remote sensing offers an unparalleled vantage point for observing the Earth's long-term surface evolution, yet it demands that a model not only perceive land cover at isolated moments, but also track changes, memorize evolution histories, and reason across time and space.
