SIRS: Multitask Joint Learning for Remote Sensing Foreground-Entity Image–Text Retrieval
Published in IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING, 2024

This paper proposes the SIRS cross modal image text retrieval framework, with core contributions including: 1) semantic guided spatial attention, construction of multi task joint learning branches, filtering out noise and refining foreground features; 2) Adaptive multi-scale weighting improves retrieval efficiency. Significant improvement on open-source datasets, with optional output segmentation masks.
