Unifying Heterogeneous Multi-Modal Remote Sensing Detection Via Language-Pivoted Pretraining
Heterogeneous multi-modal remote sensing object detection aims to accurately detect objects from diverse sensors (e.g., RGB, SAR, Infrared). Existing approaches largely adopt a late alignment paradigm, in which modality alignment and task-specific optimization are entangled during downstream fine-tuning. This tight coupling complicates optimization and often results in unstable training and suboptimal generalization. To address these limitations, we propose BabelRS, a unified language-pivoted pretraining framework that explicitly decouples modality alignment from downstream task learning. BabelRS comprises two key components: Concept-Shared Instruction Aligning (CSIA) and Layerwise Visual...
