OptiSAR-Net++: A Large-Scale Benchmark and Transformer-Free Framework for Cross-Domain Remote Sensing Visual Grounding

OptiSAR-Net++ introduces a new cross‑domain remote sensing visual grounding task (CD‑RSVG) and the first large‑scale benchmark dataset, OptSAR‑RSVG. The framework replaces Transformer decoding with a CLIP‑based contrastive approach, employing a patch‑level Low‑Rank Adaptation Mixture of Experts for efficient cross‑domain feature decoupling and a text‑guided dual‑gate fusion module for improved semantic‑visual alignment. Experiments show state‑of‑the‑art performance on OptSAR‑RSVG and DIOR‑RSVG, with notable gains in localization accuracy and computational efficiency.

DeCo: Efficient Decouple-to-Couple Learning for Multi-Task Visual Grounding

DeCo introduces an efficient decouple-to-couple learning framework for multi-task visual grounding, addressing conflicts between localization and segmentation tasks. It first applies Task-aware Semantic Decoupling (TSD) to separate shared visual cues into task-specific features guided by salient words, then uses Hybrid Prior Coupling (HPC) to merge sentence-level semantic priors with mask-derived spatial priors for improved grounding. Experiments across multiple natural and remote sensing datasets show that DeCo achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance while requiring only lightweight trainable parameters on a frozen multimodal encoder.

Exploring the Potential of Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training for Multi-Source Remote Sensing Data

The paper introduces OmniRSCLIP, an end‑to‑end contrastive learning framework that extends the CLIP architecture to handle heterogeneous remote sensing sensors such as SAR, multi‑spectral imaging, and hyperspectral imaging. It achieves this by employing Spectral‑Spatial Basis Decomposition to adapt arbitrary‑channel inputs without losing pretrained visual knowledge, and a spectral‑context‑aware mask‑based contrastive learning scheme to improve fine‑grained image‑text alignment. The authors also build OmniRS5M, a large‑scale image‑text corpus covering multiple sensor modalities, and demonstrate that OmniRSCLIP maintains strong RGB performance while effectively supporting these diverse remote sensing data types.
