From RGB Generation to Dense Field Readout: Pixel-Space Dense Prediction with Text-to-Image Models
Large-scale text-to-image models are attractive backbones for dense prediction because RGB generation pretraining learns rich semantic, structural, and geometric priors. Existing generative and editing approaches reuse these priors by casting dense prediction as target generation: annotations such as depth, normals, alpha mattes, masks, and heatmaps are encoded into an RGB-trained VAE latent space and decoded back as image-like targets. We argue this inherits more of the generative output interface than dense prediction requires: unlike RGB synthesis, dense prediction asks for pixel-correct, t
MonoIR-RS: Infrared Remote Sensing Vision-Language Learning with CLIP and VLM Adaptation
Infrared remote-sensing imagery captures intensity structure, object-background contrast, and illumination-invariant cues often invisible in RGB imagery. Yet, most remote-sensing vision-language resources and models focus on visible-band semantics, leaving infrared vision-language understanding underexplored. We introduce MonoIR-RS, a large-scale infrared remote-sensing vision-language dataset and benchmark that couples IR-aware data construction with CLIP-style contrastive adaptation and VLM instruction tuning. Built from the same source pool and split as FusionRS, MonoIR-RS retains the infra
