This is an ongoing project. We are working on increasing the dataset size.

🔥 Updates

• [2024.06.19] We release the VRSBench, A Versatile Vision-Language Benchmark Dataset for Remote Sensing Image Understanding. VRSBench contains 29,614 images, with 29,614 human-verified detailed captions, 52,472 object references, and 123,221 question-answer pairs. check VRSBench Project Page.
• [2024.05.23] We release the RSICap dataset. Please fill out this form to get both RSICap and RSIEval dataset.
• [2023.11.10] Our survey about vision-language models in remote sensing. RSVLM.
• [2023.10.22] The RSICap dataset and code will be released upon paper acceptance.
• [2023.10.22] We release the evaluation dataset RSIEval. Please fill out this form to get both the RSIEval dataset.

Dataset

• RSICap: 2,585 image-text pairs with high-quality human-annotated captions.
• RSIEval: 100 high-quality human-annotated captions with 936 open-ended visual question-answer pairs.

Code

The idea of finetuning our vision-language model is borrowed from MiniGPT-4. Our model is based on finetuning InstructBLIP using our RSICap dataset.

• MiniGPT-4. A popular open-source vision-language model.
• InstructBLIP. The model architecture of RSGPT follows InstructBLIP. Don't forget to check out this great open-source work if you don't know it before!
• Lavis. This repository is built upon Lavis!
• Vicuna. The fantastic language ability of Vicuna with only 13B parameters is just amazing. And it is open-source!
