What potential challenges could arise from relying solely on aligned global visual features and textual features for RS ITR
Aligned global visual features and textual features alone may not be sufficient for Remote Sensing Image-Text Retrieval (RS ITR) due to potential challenges that could arise. One challenge is the complexity and diversity of geographical objects present in RS images. Relying solely on aligned global features may not capture the fine-grained details and nuances of these objects, leading to limited semantic understanding. Additionally, RS images often contain a wide range of spatial information that may require more localized or context-specific features for accurate retrieval.
Another challenge is related to the limitations of pre-trained models like CLIP in capturing domain-specific semantics and contextual information relevant to remote sensing applications. These models may struggle with understanding specific terms, relationships between objects, or unique characteristics of RS images without additional training or adaptation.
Furthermore, relying only on aligned global visual and textual features may overlook important spatial relationships within RS images that are crucial for accurate image-text retrieval tasks. Fine-grained feature fusion techniques are essential to capture detailed spatial information effectively.
