LongEarth-R1: Benchmarking and Aligning Vision-Language Models for Long-Horizon Earth Observation Reasoning

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2608. 13344v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon Earth observation reasoning requires models to organize multi-stage geographic evolution, localize spatial changes, detect temporal anomalies, and infer future from extended image sequences.

GeoChrono: Benchmarking and Rethinking Long-Term Temporal Understanding in Remote Sensing

arXiv:2607. 15768v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Remote sensing offers an unparalleled vantage point for observing the Earth's long-term surface evolution, yet it demands that a model not only perceive land cover at isolated moments, but also track changes, memorize evolution histories, and reason across time and space.

GTPred: Benchmarking MLLMs for Interpretable Geo-localization and Time-of-capture Prediction

GTPred is a new benchmark for geo‑temporal prediction that evaluates multi‑modal large language models (MLLMs) on 370 images taken across 120 years worldwide. It assesses predictions by matching both the year and a hierarchical location sequence, and includes annotated reasoning chains to test intermediate reasoning. Experiments on 15 MLLMs show that while visual perception is strong, models still lack world knowledge and geo‑temporal reasoning, and that adding temporal data improves location inference.
