V3 architecture for CVGL caption validation on GTA-UAV-LR dataset: - AsymmetricEncoder: DINOv3 ViT-L/16 (LVD drone + SAT satellite, frozen) + LRSCLIP/DGTRS-CLIP ViT-L-14 text encoder (248 tok, partial unfreeze) - L1/L2/L3 hierarchical captions from VLM-generated descriptions - TextFusionMLP (concat 3x768 -> MLP -> 512) + GatedFusion - Segmentation filter: exclude images with >=90% background+water - 10.9M trainable / 733M total params, 256x256 input - coloredlogs + tqdm + emoji for training UX - Baseline mode (--baseline): image-only, no text encoder loaded Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Caption Quality Test for Cross-View Geo-Localization
Validate whether generated text captions improve retrieval R@1 in cross-view geo-localization (drone-to-satellite).
Experiments
V3 — GTA-UAV + DINOv3 + LRSCLIP (active)
Asymmetric architecture with domain-specific image encoders and hierarchical text.
Query: drone_img (DINOv3 LVD) + L1/L2/L3 captions (LRSCLIP) -> GatedFusion -> query
Gallery: sat_img (DINOv3 SAT) -> gallery
Loss: InfoNCE(query, gallery)
Models:
- Drone: DINOv3 ViT-L/16 (LVD-1689M, web pretrained) — 1024-dim, 303M params, frozen
- Satellite: DINOv3 ViT-L/16 (SAT-493M, satellite pretrained) — 1024-dim, 303M params, frozen
- Text: DGTRS-CLIP ViT-L-14 (LRSCLIP, 248 tokens) — 768-dim, partial unfreeze
- Total: 733M params, 10.9M trainable (1.49%)
Input: 256x256, ImageNet normalization
Dataset: GTA-UAV-LR (33K drone + 14K satellite, GTA V synthetic)
- RGB:
/home/servml/Документы/datasets/GTA-UAV-LR/ - Captions:
/home/servml/Документы/datasets/GTA-UAV-LR-captions/(40K JSON, 3-paragraph VLM) - Segmentation:
/home/servml/Документы/datasets/GTA-UAV-LR-aug/(17 classes) - Seg filter: 37,498 passed / 10,905 excluded (>=90% background+water)
- Train: 15,693 pairs, Test: 18,015 pairs (cross-area split)
V2 — UAV-GeoLoc + GeoRSCLIP (legacy)
Single backbone with template captions.
Query: drone_img + caption -> GeoRSCLIP -> GatedFusion -> query
Gallery: sat_img -> GeoRSCLIP -> gallery
Dataset: UAV-GeoLoc Terrain split (206K train queries)

Workflow (V3 — GTA-UAV)
1. Filter segmentation (exclude uninformative images)
python -m scripts.filter_segmentation --output meta/seg_filter.json
2. Train baseline (no text)
python -m src.training.train_gtauav --baseline --filter-meta meta/seg_filter.json
3. Train with captions (L1/L2/L3)
python -m src.training.train_gtauav --filter-meta meta/seg_filter.json
4. Compare and get verdict
python -m scripts.compare_runs \
--baseline_report out/gtauav/baseline/eval_report.json \
--full_report out/gtauav/with_text/eval_report.json \
--output out/gtauav/comparison.md
Decision rule
| Delta R@1 (drone->satellite) | Verdict |
|---|---|
| >= +3% | PASS -- captions informative, proceed to NADEZHDA teacher |
| +1% to +3% | MARGINAL -- add VLM refinement, re-run |
| 0 to +1% | WEAK -- redesign caption pipeline |
| < 0 | HARMFUL -- critical bug |
