Cross-View Geo-Localization Geospatial Representation Learning Remote Sensing Benchmarks

Open paper AskPDF arXiv

Cross-view geo-localization between UAV and satellite imagery remains a fundamental yet highly challenging task, especially under large off-nadir views where drastic perspective distortions, occlusions, and appearance gaps occur. Existing benchmarks and methods primarily focus on near-nadir scenarios and often overlook the importance of structural scene understanding and intra-domain relational constraints, limiting their performance in real-world deployments. In this work, we introduce OffNadirLoc, a new benchmark for large off-nadir UAV-to-satellite geo-localization. To tackle the unique challenges posed by off-nadir perspectives, we further propose ONLoc, a framework that incorporates a structure-aware contextual weighting mechanism to dynamically emphasize reliable local features while suppressing ambiguous or repetitive regions. Additionally, we design a view-coherent learning strategy, which treats one satellite image and the corresponding UAV images from multiple views as a cohesive semantic group. This set-level supervision enables the model to learn viewpoint-invariant and discriminative features, making it more effective at capturing multi-view consistency than conventional pairwise contrastive learning. Extensive experiments on the OffNadirLoc benchmark and four near-nadir datasets demonstrate that our method consistently outperforms state-of-the-art approaches while exhibiting strong zero-shot generalization to unseen datasets without additional training. The code will be released at https://montalario.github.io/offnadirloc/.
