On the Effectiveness of Adaptation Strategies for VLM-Based Federated Learning in Remote Sensing
Simon Lösche, Barış Büyüktaş, Mathis Adler +3
Federated learning (FL) enables collaborative training of deep learning models across decentralized image archives without requiring data centralization. This paradigm is particula…
BigEarthNet.txt: A Large-Scale Multi-Sensor Image-Text Dataset and Benchmark for Earth Observation
Johann-Ludwig Herzog, Mathis Jürgen Adler, Leonard Hackel +5
Vision-langugage models (VLMs) have shown strong performance in computer vision (CV), yet their performance on remote sensing (RS) data remains limited due to the lack of large-sca…
GAIA: A Global, Multi-modal, Multi-scale Vision-Language Dataset for Remote Sensing Image Analysis
Angelos Zavras, Dimitrios Michail, Xiao Xiang Zhu +2
Existing Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are predominantly trained on web-scraped, noisy image-text data, exhibiting limited exposure to the specialized domain of RS. This deficiency…
Towards a Unified Copernicus Foundation Model for Earth Vision
Yi Wang, Zhitong Xiong, Chenying Liu +8
Advances in Earth observation (EO) foundation models have unlocked the potential of big satellite data to learn generic representations from space, benefiting a wide range of downs…
Mind the Modality Gap: Towards a Remote Sensing Vision-Language Model via Cross-modal Alignment
Angelos Zavras, Dimitrios Michail, Begüm Demir +1
Deep Learning (DL) is undergoing a paradigm shift with the emergence of foundation models. In this work, we focus on Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP), a Vision-Langua…
Probabilistic Machine Learning for Noisy Labels in Earth Observation
Spyros Kondylatos, Nikolaos Ioannis Bountos, Ioannis Prapas +3
Label noise poses a significant challenge in Earth Observation (EO), often degrading the performance and reliability of supervised Machine Learning (ML) models. Yet, given the crit…
