SegEarth-R1: Geospatial Pixel Reasoning via Large Language Model
Kaiyu Li, Zepeng Xin, Li Pang, Chao Pang, Yupeng Deng, Jing Yao, Guisong Xia, Deyu Meng, Zhi Wang, Xiangyong Cao

Project | Dataset | Code

  • We introduce the geospatial pixel reasoning task, construct the first benchmark dataset (EarthReason), and propose a simple yet effective baseline (SegEarth-R1).

DynamicEarth: How Far are We from Open-Vocabulary Change Detection?
Kaiyu Li, Xiangyong Cao, Yupeng Deng, Chao Pang, Zepeng Xin, Deyu Meng, Zhi Wang

Project

  • We propose a new task, open-vocabulary change detection (OVCD).
  • We propose two universal frameworks for OVCD.
  • The first OVCD codebase, DynamicEarth, is released.

Open-CD: A Comprehensive Toolbox for Change Detection
Kaiyu Li, Jiawei Jiang, Andrea Codegoni, Chengxi Han, Yupeng Deng, Keyan Chen, Zhuo Zheng, Hao Chen, Zhengxia Zou, Zhenwei Shi, Sheng Fang, Deyu Meng, Zhi Wang, Xiangyong Cao

Project

  • Open-CD is one of the most popular change detection toolkits.
  • We launch the Open-CD Technical Report Plan (Open-CD TRP for shot). We invite some authors to introduce their algorithms and participate in the construction of the Open-CD codebase. This plan is under active development and we will keep this report updated.
