Vision Foundation Models in Remote Sensing: A Survey

Understand

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies have profoundly transformed the field of remote sensing, revolutionizing data collection, processing, and analysis.

• Traditionally reliant on manual interpretation and task-specific models, remote sensing research has been significantly enhanced by the advent of foundation models-large-scale, pre-trained AI models capable of performing a wide array of tasks with unprecedented accuracy and efficiency.
• This paper provides a comprehensive survey of foundation models in the remote sensing domain.
• We categorize these models based on their architectures, pre-training datasets, and methodologies.
