GeoRefer-Bench: A Benchmark from Referring Pixels to Verifiable Geospatial Reasoning

GeoRefer-Bench is a new benchmark for verifiable geospatial referring segmentation that evaluates whether models correctly resolve spatial relations in overhead imagery. Each query is expressed as an executable logical form over a metric scene graph, and predictions are scored with Exact Query Success (EQS), requiring an exact match to the query’s referent set. The dataset contains 700 UAV scenes, 26,217 instances, 142,796 spatial relations, 20,916 executable queries across five reasoning levels, and additional paraphrases, unanswerable queries, counterfactual pairs, and leakage‑controlled splits.

CLOSER-VLN: Closed-Loop Self-Verified Retrieval-Augmented Reasoning for Aerial Vision-Language Navigation

arXiv:2606. 28397v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language navigation (VLN) has recently advanced with large language and multimodal models, enabling agents to follow natural-language instructions in unseen environments without training a task-specific navigation policy.

SpatialQuery: Benchmarking Geometry-Grounded Multi-Instance Spatial Reasoning in Vision-Language Models

Vision-language models (VLMs) achieve strong semantic understanding but remain unreliable in metric spatial reasoning, particularly when queries require comparing multiple instances of the same object category. We study this problem through the Closest-Instance Distance Query (CIDQ), where a model must identify the nearest visible candidate to a unique reference object and estimate their gravity-aligned floor-plane distance.

Post-Launch Capability Expansion of Vision-Language Models via Prompting for On-Orbit Spacecraft Inspection

arXiv:2606. 15427v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Spaceborne inspection systems often deploy perception models prior to launch, after which updating model weights or expanding fixed label sets becomes operationally impractical.

Reinforcing Dual-Path Reasoning in Spatial Vision Language Models

arXiv:2606. 17539v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Spatial VLMs have made substantial progress in geometric perception, yet complex spatial reasoning requiring multi-step inference over depth, distance, and scene relations remains challenging.
