Remote Sensing Image Understanding Large Vision-Language Models VLM Reasoning

Open paper AskPDF arXiv

This work investigates the use of large language models (LLMs) for tasks in smart cities. The core idea is to leverage remote sensing imagery to characterize the built environment, including design suggestions, constructability assessment, landuse patterns, and risk identification. We examine remote sensing imagery at multiple spatial scales as inputs for multimodal language modeling and evaluate their effects on built-environment-related reasoning. In addition, we compare state-of-the-art LLMs, including InternVL and Qwen, in terms of accuracy and reliability when generating built environment recommendations. The results demonstrate the potential of integrating remote sensing imagery with large language models to assist smart cities and decision-making.
