arXiv:2606. 00987v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have shown strong visual understanding and language-guided grounding abilities, yet their capacity for multi-temporal visual reasoning remains underexplored.
arXiv:2608. 01856v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Bi-temporal remote-sensing disaster change captioning often needs to identify sparse and spatially localized changes across large pre- and post-event scenes and then translate them into coherent, factual descriptions.
arXiv:2606. 28724v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Understanding and localizing subtle changes between paired images is critical for tasks such as surveillance and image editing.
The paper proposes a weakly supervised remote sensing change detection method that uses change captions as the sole supervision signal, eliminating the need for pixel‑level change masks. It introduces a caption‑driven generation pipeline to create bi‑temporal image pairs with controlled changes and a Semantic‑Appearance Agreement Framework (SAAF) that fuses caption‑grounded semantic responses with RGB differences for accurate change localization. Experiments on the Flair‑RSGen and WHU‑CDC datasets demonstrate that SAAF outperforms existing limited‑supervision baselines in macro‑averaged IoU and F1 metrics.

The paper introduces MGRL-RSCC, a multi‑granularity reward reinforcement learning framework for Remote Sensing Change Captioning (RSCC). It uses a CNN with hierarchical self‑attention to extract visual features, a Transformer decoder for visual‑to‑linguistic translation, and a dual‑decoding strategy combined with token‑level supervised learning and self‑critical reinforcement learning. Three reward functions—linguistic fluency, change state consistency, and structural‑semantic relevance—are employed to improve caption quality and reduce exposure bias and conservative generation.
