Multimodal-Multiresolution Foundation Model for Lunar Remote Sensing
Paolo Fraccaro, Gabby Nyirjesy, Daniela Szwarcman +19
We present a multimodal foundation model for lunar remote sensing, pretrained from scratch on SomBench, a geographically partitioned corpus of nearly two million co-registered tile…
SomBench: Benchmark Dataset for Advancing Machine Learning in Lunar Science
Himanshu Patil, Gabby Nyirjesy, Rachel A. Slank +19
Lunar orbital missions, such as Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, Kaguya/SELENE, Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory, and Lunar Prospector, among others, provide rich multi-instru…
Analysis of a compact interferometric imager
Laurent M. Mugnier, Vincent Michau, Hiyam Debary +1
The advent of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) will allow the replacement of the large aperture of an optical telescope by a dense array of small apertures combined interferomet…
EoCD: Encoder only Remote Sensing Change Detection
Mubashir Noman, Mustansar Fiaz, Hiyam Debary +4
Being a cornerstone of temporal analysis, change detection has been playing a pivotal role in modern earth observation. Existing change detection methods rely on the Siamese encode…
OpenEarthAgent: A Unified Framework for Tool-Augmented Geospatial Agents
Akashah Shabbir, Muhammad Umer Sheikh, Muhammad Akhtar Munir +8
Recent progress in multimodal reasoning has enabled agents that interpret imagery, connect it with language, and execute structured analytical tasks. Extending these capabilities t…
GeoVLM-R1: Reinforcement Fine-Tuning for Improved Remote Sensing Reasoning
Mustansar Fiaz, Hiyam Debary, Paolo Fraccaro +4
Recent advances in reinforcement learning (RL) have delivered strong reasoning capabilities in natural image domains, yet their potential for Earth Observation (EO) remains largely…
PrediTree: A Multi-Temporal Sub-meter Dataset of Multi-Spectral Imagery Aligned With Canopy Height Maps
Hiyam Debary, Mustansar Fiaz, Levente Klein
We present PrediTree, the first comprehensive open-source dataset designed for training and evaluating tree height prediction models at sub-meter resolution. This dataset combines…
HyRet-Change: A hybrid retentive network for remote sensing change detection
Mustansar Fiaz, Mubashir Noman, Hiyam Debary +2
Recently convolution and transformer-based change detection (CD) methods provide promising performance. However, it remains unclear how the local and global dependencies interact t…
EarthDial: Turning Multi-sensory Earth Observations to Interactive Dialogues
Sagar Soni, Akshay Dudhane, Hiyam Debary +8
Automated analysis of vast Earth observation data via interactive Vision-Language Models (VLMs) can unlock new opportunities for environmental monitoring, disaster response, and {r…
