MARS - A foundational map auto-regressor
Qi Zhang, Suvam Bag, Rupanjali Kukal +9
Map generation tasks feature extensive non-structural vectorized data (e.g., points, polylines, and polygons) and thus pose significant challenges to common pixel-wise generative m…
Unlocking Zero-Shot Geospatial Reasoning via Indirect Rewards
Chenhui Xu, Fuxun Yu, Michael J. Bianco +15
Training robust reasoning vision-language models (VLMs) in rare domains (such as geospatial) is fundamentally constrained by supervision scarcity. While raw geospatial imagery is a…
Geospatial Foundational Embedder: Top-1 Winning Solution on EarthVision Embed2Scale Challenge (CVPR 2025)
Zirui Xu, Raphael Tang, Mike Bianco +4
EarthVision Embed2Scale challenge (CVPR 2025) aims to develop foundational geospatial models to embed SSL4EO-S12 hyperspectral geospatial data cubes into embedding vectors that fac…
Enhancing Worldwide Image Geolocation by Ensembling Satellite-Based Ground-Level Attribute Predictors
Michael J. Bianco, David Eigen, Michael Gormish
We examine the challenge of estimating the location of a single ground-level image in the absence of GPS or other location metadata. Currently, geolocation systems are evaluated by…
