PNEC-Mamba: Prototype-Guided Positive-Negative Evidence Calibration for Hyperspectral Image Classification

In real-world hyperspectral scenes, pixel representations are often ambiguous due to factors such as spectral similarity, mixed pixels, and local context interference, which may simultaneously encode discriminative evidence and interfering information. Existing methods mainly focus on learning more powerful representations or modeling broader contexts, but rarely investigate whether the learned representations provide reliable evidence or introduce interference into classification decisions. To address this issue, we view hyperspectral image classification from the perspective of pixel-level evidence reliability modeling and propose PNEC-Mamba, a prototype-guided positive-negative evidence calibration framework. The framework progressively establishes semantic references, separates class-related evidence from interference, estimates pixel-level reliability, and performs selective calibration. First, a full-image state-space encoder extracts pixel representations, while dynamic class prototypes provide semantic references that evolve jointly with the feature space. Subsequently, positive and negative evidence is derived from pixel-prototype competition, explicitly separating discriminative cues that support classification from confusing signals associated with competing classes. Based on these evidence relationships, a multi-source uncertainty estimation strategy is introduced to assess pixel-level reliability, enabling stronger evidence calibration for uncertain regions. Finally, a full-resolution consistency refinement step is applied to recover local spatial details and improve boundary coherence in the final predictions. Extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets demonstrate that PNEC-Mamba achieves superior classification performance compared with state-of-the-art methods.

RSVideo: Are Your Vision-Language Models Ready for Remote Sensing Videos?

Remote-sensing videos enable real-time observation of changes in target attributes, short-term activities, and scene evolution. They record motion, actions, interactions, and scene changes that cannot be captured by isolated images. Existing models primarily target single images or discrete temporal observations spanning a long time range. However, a unified evaluation setting for assessing vision-language models on continuous remote-sensing video understanding remains lacking. We introduce RSVideo-10K, a remote-sensing video dataset comprising 10,773 instances, 1.47 million frames, and 17.02 hours of footage, containing both unmanned aerial vehicles and satellite platforms. Its fixed evaluation benchmark, RSVideo-Bench, contains 2,731 test instances and evaluates two complementary aspects of remote-sensing video understanding: L1 Perception and L2 Reasoning, spanning seven capability groups and 17 tasks. Evaluations show that current vision-language models still struggle to recover small local evidence, track short-lived states, and use scene-constrained spatial relations. Based on this analysis, we further propose RSVideo, a reinforcement learning framework for small-target spatiotemporal focusing that selects question-relevant regions across frames and suppresses redundant background tokens. RSVideo achieves a maximum absolute improvement of 9.01% with InternVL3.5-14B and attains the highest accuracy of 40.63% with Qwen3.6-27B across 26 open-source vision-language backbones.

MBTI: A Multi-Branch Efficient Fine-Tuning Framework for Hyperspectral Image Classification with Foundation Models

Hyperspectral foundation models learn transferable spectral-spatial representations from large-scale unlabeled data. They provide an effective paradigm for adapting to downstream hyperspectral image (HSI) classification tasks with limited labeled samples. However, spectral band configurations vary substantially across sensors, which makes direct model transfer difficult. Existing adaptation strategies often compress, select, or reshape the original spectra to match model-specific input requirements. These operations may discard useful spectral information and weaken local spectral continuity. To address this problem, we propose MBTI, a Multi-Branch efficient fine-tuning framework for Hyperspectral Image classification. MBTI adapts hyperspectral foundation models to downstream classification tasks while preserving full-band spectral information. First, we introduce a spectral-continuity-preserving multi-branch preprocessing strategy. The original HSI is divided into multiple continuous spectral subsets, and a band reuse mechanism is used when the remaining bands cannot form a complete branch. This avoids invalid padding and unnecessary spectral loss. Second, independent Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) modules are inserted into each branch. They enable different spectral intervals to learn task-specific discriminative features while keeping most pre-trained parameters frozen. Finally, a multi-branch channel attention fusion module adaptively recalibrates and integrates features from all spectral branches. Experiments on three public hyperspectral datasets show that MBTI achieves competitive and superior performance compared with representative classification methods. Under the final rank-8 configuration, only about 2.33\%--2.36\% of the parameters are trainable. The code will be available at https://github.com/Azhenmiddleblock/MBTI/tree/main.

UHR-Micro: Diagnosing and Mitigating the Resolution Illusion in Earth Observation VLMs

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) increasingly operate on ultra-high-resolution (UHR) Earth observation imagery, yet they remain vulnerable to a severe scale mismatch between large-scale scene context and micro-scale targets. We refer to this empirical gap as a "resolution illusion": higher input resolution provides the appearance of richer visual detail, but does not necessarily yield reliable perception of spatially small, task-relevant evidence. To benchmark this challenge, we introduce UHR-Micro, a benchmark comprising 11,253 instructions grounded in 1,212 UHR images, designed to evaluate VLMs at the spatial limits of native Earth observation imagery. UHR-Micro spans diverse micro-target scales, context requirements, task families, and visual conditions, and provides diagnostic annotations that support controlled evaluation and fine-grained error attribution. Experiments with representative high-resolution VLMs show substantial failures in spatial grounding and evidence parsing, despite access to high-resolution inputs. Further analysis suggests that these failures are not fully resolved by increasing model capacity, but are closely tied to insufficient guidance in locating and using task-relevant micro-evidence. Motivated by this finding, we propose Micro-evidence Active Perception (MAP), a reference agent that decomposes queries into evidence-seeking steps, actively inspects candidate regions, and grounds its answers in localized observations. MAP-Agent improves micro-level perception by making high-resolution reasoning evidence-centered rather than image-centered. Together, UHR-Micro and MAP-Agent provide a diagnostic platform for evaluating, understanding, and advancing high-resolution reasoning in Earth observation VLMs. Datasets and source code were released at https://github.com/MiliLab/UHR-Micro.

Bivariate partial mapping for detecting causality in complex non-autonomous system

Identifying causality is fundamental for human understanding of the world, where complex non-autonomous systems such as species population changes, brain activities, etc. are extensively existed. Since the phase spaces of such systems are not manifolds, the existing method based on convergent cross mapping is not applicable. This paper proposes a novel bivariate partial mapping method for detecting causality in complex non-autonomous systems. It transforms a non-autonomous system to an autonomous skew product system, and then, by considering the causality changes due to the transformation, detects causality of the original non-autonomous system from the transformed skew product system. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by mathematical cases and a real brain activity case, showing that the proposed method successfully detects the causality in complex non-autonomous systems.

Universal Pansharpening Model

Pansharpening generates the high-resolution multi-spectral (MS) image by integrating spatial details from a texture-rich panchromatic (PAN) image and spectral attributes from a low-resolution MS image. Existing methods are predominantly satellite-specific and scene-dependent, which severely limits their generalization across heterogeneous sensors and varied scenes, thereby reducing their real-world practicality. To address these challenges, we present UniPS, a universal pansharpening model for satellite-agnostic and scene-robust fusion. Specifically, we introduce a modality-interleaved transformer that learns band-wise modal specializations to form reversible spectral affine bases, mapping arbitrary-band MS into a unified latent space via tensor multiplication. Building upon this, we construct a latent diffusion bridge model to progressively evolve latent representations, and incorporate bridge posterior sampling to couple latent diffusion with pixel-space observations, enabling stable and controllable fusion. Furthermore, we devise infinite-dimensional pixel-to-latent interaction mechanisms to comprehensively capture the cross-domain dependencies between PAN observations and MS representations, thereby facilitating complementary information fusion. In addition, to support large-scale training and evaluation, we construct a comprehensive pansharpening benchmark, termed PSBench, consisting of worldwide MS and PAN image pairs from multiple satellites across diverse scenes. Extensive experiments verify that UniPS consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods, exhibiting superior generalization and robustness across a wide range of tasks.

Any2Any: Unified Arbitrary Modality Translation for Remote Sensing

Multi-modal remote sensing imagery provides complementary observations of the same geographic scene, yet such observations are frequently incomplete in practice. Existing cross-modal translation methods treat each modality pair as an independent task, resulting in quadratic complexity and limited generalization to unseen modality combinations. We formulate Any-to-Any translation as inference over a shared latent representation of the scene, where different modalities correspond to partial observations of the same underlying semantics. Based on this formulation, we propose Any2Any, a unified latent diffusion framework that projects heterogeneous inputs into a geometrically aligned latent space. Such structure performs anchored latent regression with a shared backbone, decoupling modality-specific representation learning from semantic mapping. Moreover, lightweight target-specific residual adapters are used to correct systematic latent mismatches without increasing inference complexity. To support learning under sparse but connected supervision, we introduce RST-1M, the first million-scale remote sensing dataset with paired observations across five sensing modalities, providing supervision anchors for any-to-any translation. Experiments across 14 translation tasks show that Any2Any consistently outperforms pairwise translation methods and exhibits strong zero-shot generalization to unseen modality pairs. Code and models are available at https://github.com/MiliLab/Any2Any.

Seeing Clearly without Training: Mitigating Hallucinations in Multimodal LLMs for Remote Sensing

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) suffer from pronounced hallucinations in remote sensing visual question-answering (RS-VQA), primarily caused by visual grounding failures in large-scale scenes or misinterpretation of fine-grained small targets. To systematically analyze these issues, we introduce RSHBench, a protocol-based benchmark for fine-grained diagnosis of factual and logical hallucinations. To mitigate grounding-induced factual hallucinations, we further propose Relative Attention-Driven Actively Reasoning (RADAR), a training-free inference method that leverages intrinsic attention in MLLMs to guide progressive localization and fine-grained local reasoning at test time. Extensive experiments across diverse MLLMs demonstrate that RADAR consistently improves RS-VQA performance and reduces both factual and logical hallucinations. Code and data will be publicly available at: https://github.com/MiliLab/RADAR

VLRS-Bench: A Vision-Language Reasoning Benchmark for Remote Sensing

Recent advancements in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have enabled complex reasoning. However, existing remote sensing (RS) benchmarks remain heavily biased toward perception tasks, such as object recognition and scene classification. This limitation hinders the development of MLLMs for cognitively demanding RS applications. To address this, we propose a Vision Language ReaSoning Benchmark (VLRS-Bench), which is the first benchmark exclusively dedicated to complex RS reasoning. Structured across the three core dimensions of Cognition, Decision, and Prediction, VLRS-Bench comprises 2,000 question-answer pairs with an average question length of 130.19 words, spanning 14 tasks and up to eight temporal phases. VLRS-Bench is constructed via a specialized pipeline that integrates RS-specific priors and expert knowledge to ensure geospatial realism and reasoning complexity. Experimental results reveal significant bottlenecks in existing state-of-the-art MLLMs, providing critical insights for advancing multimodal reasoning within the remote sensing community. The project repository is available at https://github.com/MiliLab/VLRS-Bench.

Bridging Supervision Gaps: A Unified Framework for Remote Sensing Change Detection

Change detection (CD) aims to identify surface changes from multi-temporal remote sensing imagery. In real-world scenarios, Pixel-level change labels are expensive to acquire, and existing models struggle to adapt to scenarios with diverse annotation availability. To tackle this challenge, we propose a unified change detection framework (UniCD), which collaboratively handles supervised, weakly-supervised, and unsupervised tasks through a coupled architecture. UniCD eliminates architectural barriers through a shared encoder and multi-branch collaborative learning mechanism, achieving deep coupling of heterogeneous supervision signals. Specifically, UniCD consists of three supervision-specific branches. In the supervision branch, UniCD introduces the spatial-temporal awareness module (STAM), achieving efficient synergistic fusion of bi-temporal features. In the weakly-supervised branch, we construct change representation regularization (CRR), which steers model convergence from coarse-grained activations toward coherent and separable change modeling. In the unsupervised branch, we propose semantic prior-driven change inference (SPCI), which transforms unsupervised tasks into controlled weakly-supervised path optimization. Experiments on mainstream datasets demonstrate that UniCD achieves optimal performance across three tasks. It exhibits significant accuracy improvements in weakly and unsupervised scenarios, surpassing current state-of-the-art by 12.72% and 12.37% on LEVIR-CD, respectively.

Degradation-Aware Metric Prompting for Hyperspectral Image Restoration

Unified hyperspectral image (HSI) restoration aims to recover diverse degradations within a single model. However, current methods often rely on impractical explicit priors or opaque black-box representations that overfit to training distributions, hampering generalization to unseen scenarios. To bridge this gap, we propose Degradation-Aware Metric Prompting (DAMP), a novel framework that characterizes multi-dimensional degradations through interpretable spatial-spectral metrics. These metrics serve as Degradation Prompts (DP), enabling the model to capture shared characteristics across tasks and adapt to unknown corruptions. Central to our framework is the Degradation-Adaptive Mixture-of-Experts (DAMoE), where Spatial-Spectral Adaptive Modules (SSAMs) serve as experts that utilize learnable fusion coefficients to specialize in distinct degradation degrees. By using DP as a gating router, DAMoE dynamically activates specialized experts tailored to the specific degradation profile. Extensive experiments on natural and remote sensing HSI datasets demonstrate that DAMP achieves state-of-the-art performance and exhibits exceptional zero-shot generalization on unseen restoration tasks. Code is publicly available at \href{DAMP}{https://github.com/MiliLab/DAMP}.

SARMAE: Masked Autoencoder for SAR Representation Learning

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery plays a critical role in all-weather, day-and-night remote sensing applications. However, existing SAR-oriented deep learning is constrained by data scarcity, while the physically grounded speckle noise in SAR imagery further hampers fine-grained semantic representation learning. To address these challenges, we propose SARMAE, a Noise-Aware Masked Autoencoder for self-supervised SAR representation learning. Specifically, we construct SAR-1M, the first million-scale SAR dataset, with additional paired optical images, to enable large-scale pre-training. Building upon this, we design Speckle-Aware Representation Enhancement (SARE), which injects SAR-specific speckle noise into masked autoencoders to facilitate noise-aware and robust representation learning. Furthermore, we introduce Semantic Anchor Representation Constraint (SARC), which leverages paired optical priors to align SAR features and ensure semantic consistency. Extensive experiments across multiple SAR datasets demonstrate that SARMAE achieves state-of-the-art performance on classification, detection, and segmentation tasks. Code and models will be available at https://github.com/MiliLab/SARMAE.

GeoBridge: A Semantic-Anchored Multi-View Foundation Model Bridging Images and Text for Geo-Localization

Cross-view geo-localization infers a location by retrieving geo-tagged reference images that visually correspond to a query image. However, the traditional satellite-centric paradigm limits robustness when high-resolution or up-to-date satellite imagery is unavailable. It further underexploits complementary cues across views (\eg, drone, satellite, and street) and modalities (\eg, language and image). To address these challenges, we propose GeoBridge, a novel model that performs bidirectional matching across views and supports language-to-image retrieval. Going beyond traditional satellite-centric formulations, GeoBridge builds on a novel semantic-anchor mechanism that bridges multi-view features through textual descriptions for robust, flexible localization. In support of this task, we construct GeoLoc, the first large-scale, cross-modal, and multi-view aligned dataset comprising over 50,000 pairs of drone, street-view panorama, and satellite images as well as their textual descriptions, collected from 36 countries, ensuring both geographic and semantic alignment. We performed broad evaluations across multiple tasks. Experiments confirm that GeoLoc pre-training markedly improves geo-location accuracy for GeoBridge while promoting cross-domain generalization and cross-modal knowledge transfer. Code, dataset, and pretrained models will be released at https://github.com/MiliLab/GeoBridge.

UniGeoSeg: Towards Unified Open-World Segmentation for Geospatial Scenes

Instruction-driven segmentation in remote sensing generates masks from guidance, offering great potential for accessible and generalizable applications. However, existing methods suffer from fragmented task formulations and limited instruction data, hindering effective understanding and generalization. To address these issues, we introduce GeoSeg-1M, the first million-scale dataset for remote sensing instruction-driven segmentation, constructed via an automatic mask filtering and instruction generation pipeline that synthesizes referring, interactive, and reasoning segmentation instructions from multiple public datasets. GeoSeg-1M contains 590K images, 117 categories, and 1.1M image-mask-instruction triplets. Building upon this foundation, we further curate GeoSeg-Bench, a challenging benchmark designed to evaluate contextual understanding and reasoning capabilities across diverse instruction-driven tasks and complex geospatial scenes. Furthermore, we present UniGeoSeg, a unified framework that serves as a strong baseline, incorporating task-aware text enhancement, latent knowledge memory, and a progressive training strategy to facilitate multi-task learning. Extensive experiments demonstrate the state-of-the-art performance of UniGeoSeg across GeoSeg-Bench and diverse public benchmarks, while exhibiting strong zero-shot generalization.

GeoZero: Incentivizing Reasoning from Scratch on Geospatial Scenes

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have undergone rapid development in advancing geospatial scene understanding. Recent studies have sought to enhance the reasoning capabilities of remote sensing MLLMs, typically through cold-start training with elaborately curated chain-of-thought (CoT) data. However, this approach not only incurs substantial annotation costs but also introduces human biases that may limit the diversity of model reasoning. To address these challenges, we propose GeoZero, a framework that enables MLLMs to perform geospatial reasoning without any predefined CoT supervision. Specifically, we construct two datasets, GeoZero-Instruct and GeoZero-Hard. GeoZero-Instruct allows the model to acquire preliminary geospatial knowledge through supervised fine-tuning, while GeoZero-Hard stimulates deep reasoning during the subsequent reinforcement learning stage. Furthermore, we introduce Answer-Anchored Group Relative Policy Optimization (A$^2$GRPO), where the reasoning process is regularized by the model's own answers, encouraging diverse yet accurate thinking. Extensive experiments on multiple remote sensing vision-language benchmarks demonstrate that GeoZero not only surpasses existing state-of-the-art methods but also fosters universal emergent reasoning capabilities across diverse geospatial tasks.

Residual Diffusion Bridge Model for Image Restoration

Diffusion bridge models establish probabilistic paths between arbitrary paired distributions and exhibit great potential for universal image restoration. Most existing methods merely treat them as simple variants of stochastic interpolants, lacking a unified analytical perspective. Besides, they indiscriminately reconstruct images through global noise injection and removal, inevitably distorting undegraded regions due to imperfect reconstruction. To address these challenges, we propose the Residual Diffusion Bridge Model (RDBM). Specifically, we theoretically reformulate the stochastic differential equations of generalized diffusion bridge and derive the analytical formulas of its forward and reverse processes. Crucially, we leverage the residuals from given distributions to modulate the noise injection and removal, enabling adaptive restoration of degraded regions while preserving intact others. Moreover, we unravel the fundamental mathematical essence of existing bridge models, all of which are special cases of RDBM and empirically demonstrate the optimality of our proposed models. Extensive experiments are conducted to demonstrate the state-of-the-art performance of our method both qualitatively and quantitatively across diverse image restoration tasks. Code is publicly available at https://github.com/MiliLab/RDBM.

MT-CYP-Net: Multi-Task Network for Pixel-Level Crop Yield Prediction Under Very Few Samples

Accurate and fine-grained crop yield prediction plays a crucial role in advancing global agriculture. However, the accuracy of pixel-level yield estimation based on satellite remote sensing data has been constrained by the scarcity of ground truth data. To address this challenge, we propose a novel approach called the Multi-Task Crop Yield Prediction Network (MT-CYP-Net). This framework introduces an effective multi-task feature-sharing strategy, where features extracted from a shared backbone network are simultaneously utilized by both crop yield prediction decoders and crop classification decoders with the ability to fuse information between them. This design allows MT-CYP-Net to be trained with extremely sparse crop yield point labels and crop type labels, while still generating detailed pixel-level crop yield maps. Concretely, we collected 1,859 yield point labels along with corresponding crop type labels and satellite images from eight farms in Heilongjiang Province, China, in 2023, covering soybean, maize, and rice crops, and constructed a sparse crop yield label dataset. MT-CYP-Net is compared with three classical machine learning and deep learning benchmark methods in this dataset. Experimental results not only indicate the superiority of MT-CYP-Net compared to previous methods on multiple types of crops but also demonstrate the potential of deep networks on precise pixel-level crop yield prediction, especially with limited data labels.

DGSolver: Diffusion Generalist Solver with Universal Posterior Sampling for Image Restoration

Diffusion models have achieved remarkable progress in universal image restoration. While existing methods speed up inference by reducing sampling steps, substantial step intervals often introduce cumulative errors. Moreover, they struggle to balance the commonality of degradation representations and restoration quality. To address these challenges, we introduce \textbf{DGSolver}, a diffusion generalist solver with universal posterior sampling. We first derive the exact ordinary differential equations for generalist diffusion models and tailor high-order solvers with a queue-based accelerated sampling strategy to improve both accuracy and efficiency. We then integrate universal posterior sampling to better approximate manifold-constrained gradients, yielding a more accurate noise estimation and correcting errors in inverse inference. Extensive experiments show that DGSolver outperforms state-of-the-art methods in restoration accuracy, stability, and scalability, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Code and models will be available at https://github.com/MiliLab/DGSolver.
