Key Points

  • GeoAlignCLIP is a novel vision-language pretraining framework designed to improve fine-grained alignment between remote sensing imagery and natural language descriptions by learning multi-granular semantic alignments.
  • The approach addresses limitations of existing models that rely heavily on global image-text alignment, enhancing the model's ability to capture intricate image details and thus improving performance in complex remote sensing tasks.
  • The authors also introduce RSFG-100k, a new fine-grained remote sensing dataset with scene descriptions, region-level annotations, and hard-negative samples to provide hierarchical supervision for training.
  • Experiments on multiple public remote sensing benchmarks show GeoAlignCLIP outperforms existing remote sensing-specific methods, demonstrating more robust and accurate vision-language alignment at a detailed level.

Abstract:Vision-language pretraining models have made significant progress in bridging remote sensing imagery with natural language. However, existing approaches often fail to effectively integrate multi-granular visual and textual information, relying primarily on global image-text alignment. This limitation hinders the model's ability to accurately capture fine-grained details in images, thus restricting its performance in complex, fine-grained tasks. To address this, we propose GeoAlignCLIP, a unified framework that achieves fine-grained alignment in remote sensing tasks by learning multi-granular semantic alignments and incorporating intra-modal consistency, enabling more precise visual-semantic alignment between image regions and text concepts. Additionally, we construct RSFG-100k, a fine-granular remote sensing dataset containing scene descriptions, region-level annotations, and challenging hard-negative samples, providing hierarchical supervision for model training. Extensive experiments conducted on multiple public remote-sensing benchmarks demonstrate that GeoAlignCLIP consistently outperforms existing RS-specific methods across diverse tasks, exhibiting more robust and accurate fine-grained vision-language alignment.
