LiG-DETR introduces a Global-Local Reassembly framework for aerial object detection that captures high‑fidelity local features before compression and integrates them into a unified end‑to‑end DETR decoder. The method uses a shared encoder to extract both global and locally magnified features, reassembles the local features according to their spatial positions, and employs Context‑Preserved Selective Reassembly and Density‑Aware Adaptive Query Allocation to reduce redundant computation. Experiments demonstrate significant improvements on small and medium objects while maintaining strong performance on large objects, with favorable accuracy–efficiency trade‑offs and better cross‑domain generalization.
arXiv:2601. 12507v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Low-resolution remote sensing small object detection is limited by both missing visual details and the ambiguity of how details serve detection.
MINER is a training‑free inference framework that enhances frozen dual‑encoder models for text‑to‑image retrieval when queries refer to small, visually subordinate objects in cluttered scenes. It augments the global image embedding with a bank of region‑level embeddings and applies hubness‑correcting similarity rescoring, thereby recovering visual evidence that global pooling underweights. The authors introduce ROCS, a benchmark derived from Flickr30K and MS COCO, and demonstrate that MINER improves retrieval performance across CLIP, SigLIP, and SigLIP 2 backbones on both ROCS and standard splits, attributing gains mainly to broader spatial coverage rather than precise crop placement.

Global visual localization of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using remote-sensing reference maps has attracted increasing attention. However, acquisition-time and imaging-platform differences between UAV and reference imagery induce substantial cross-domain appearance and viewpoint shifts, challenging robust six-degree-of-freedom (6-DoF) pose estimation.
arXiv:2511. 12810v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Camouflaged object detection is an emerging and challenging computer vision task that requires identifying and segmenting objects that blend seamlessly into their environments due to high similarity in color, texture, and size.
Semantic segmentation of remote sensing imagery requires models that capture both global context and local detail under tight computational budgets. Prior work typically optimizes for one of these axes: attention for global context, convolution for local detail, or compactness for efficiency.

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.
arXiv:2607. 06915v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Scaling down the resolution of input images can greatly reduce the computational overhead of convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which is promising for edge AI.
Background-Free Objectness Learning (B-FOR) is a dense, class‑agnostic detection framework that learns objectness without treating unlabeled regions as background. It predicts multi‑scale object‑center and scale fields, using spatially structured soft targets to supervise only reliable annotated areas and introduces displacement‑aware scale fields to model object extent. Experiments on PASCAL VOC, MS‑COCO, and Open Images show B‑FOR improves recall by over +10 AR points compared to prior class‑agnostic baselines, with ablation studies confirming the importance of localized supervision and displacement‑aware scaling.
