The Last Remote Sensing Model Built by Humans? Casting Any Earth Observation Task as Recursive Self-Improvement

Sijie Zhao, Zeqi Zhou, Heli Qi +6

Earth observation (EO) models are still built by hand. For each new task, experts design a training recipe and tune it against a benchmark. We show that this loop can be handed to…

EORestore-Agent: Fidelity-Guided Agentic Restoration of Remote Sensing Images with Composite Degradations

Heli Qi, Zeqi Zhou, Jingjun Yi +5

Remote sensing images often carry composite degradations, in which haze, cloud, noise, blur, low light, and low resolution coexist. Restoring them requires deciding which tool to a…
