Unsupervised Multi-view UAV Image Geo-localization via Iterative Rendering

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Cross-View Geo-Localization (CVGL) poses significant challenges due to the substantial view discrepancies between oblique UAV images and overhead satellite images. Existing methods heavily rely on supervised learning with labe ...

Knowledge-Aware Text–Image Retrieval for Remote Sensing Images

Devis Tuia, Li Mi, Javiera Francisca Castillo Navarro

Image-based retrieval in large Earth observation archives is challenging because one needs to navigate across thousands of candidate matches only with the query image as a guide. By using text as information supporting the visual query, the retrieval syste ...

ConGeo: Robust Cross-View Geo-Localization Across Ground View Variations

Devis Tuia, Antoine Bosselut, Li Mi, Syrielle Mathilde Marie Montariol, Javiera Francisca Castillo Navarro

Cross-view geo-localization aims at localizing a ground-level query image by matching it to its corresponding geo-referenced aerial view. In real-world scenarios, the task requires accommodating diverse ground images captured by users with varying orientat ...

ConVQG: Contrastive Visual Question Generation with Multimodal Guidance

Devis Tuia, Antoine Bosselut, Li Mi, Syrielle Mathilde Marie Montariol, Javiera Francisca Castillo Navarro

Asking questions about visual environments is a crucial way for intelligent agents to understand rich multi-faceted scenes, raising the importance of Visual Question Generation (VQG) systems. Apart from being grounded to the image, existing VQG systems can ...

Civil war hinders crop production and threatens food security in Syria

Li Mi, Xi Li

Assessing the impact of violent conflict on Syrian agriculture is challenging given data limitations and attributability issues. Using satellite data at 30 m spatial resolution, we found that the extent of productive cropland showed greater interannual var ...

Knowledge-Aware Cross-Modal Text-Image Retrieval for Remote Sensing Images

Devis Tuia, Christel Marie Tartini-Chappuis, Li Mi, Siran Li

Image-based retrieval in large Earth observation archives is difficult, because one needs to navigate across thousands of candidate matches only with the proposition image as a guide. By using text as a query language, the retrieval system gains in usabili ...
