The paper introduces TerraAgent, a training‑free framework that enhances remote sensing visual question answering by integrating three modules: GDR for demonstration retrieval, MACE for evidence‑typed sub‑question decomposition, and CVA for counterfactual evidence auditing. It demonstrates significant improvements on multiple benchmarks, raising accuracy, visual‑dependency scores, and reducing prior‑only answers and hallucinations without fine‑tuning.

The paper introduces the Remote Sensing Copy-Move Question Answering (RSCMQA) task, aimed at interpreting complex tampering scenarios in land resource monitoring and national defense. It presents five datasets—RS-CMQA, RS-CMQA-B, Real-RSCM, RS-TQA, and RS-TQA-B—spanning 29 regions in 14 countries, and a region-discrimination-guided multimodal copy-move forgery perception framework (CMFPF) that improves question answering accuracy on tampered images. Experiments show CMFPF outperforms general VQA and RSVQA models, establishing a new benchmark for RSCMQA.
arXiv:2607. 11862v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current Video Large Language Models (Video LLMs) excel in question answering (QA) but largely operate as black boxes, providing textual answers without verifiable visual grounding.
GeoNLI introduces a unified, modular pipeline that combines advanced SAM variants with multimodal large language models to perform satellite image captioning, visual question answering (VQA), and visual grounding. The EarthMind model achieves strong results on captioning and VQA, while multiple RemoteSAM-SAM and DiffuSAM pipelines are used for grounding, ultimately employing a majority‑voting ensemble across several models. The system reports 82% captioning accuracy, 83.32% VQA accuracy, and 64.94% grounding accuracy, demonstrating improved consistency over task‑specific approaches.
