# 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)
|

## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
torch>=2.0
|
|
open_clip_torch
|
|
safetensors
|
|
timm
|
|
gin-config

|
Pillow
|

|
## Workflow (V3 — GTA-UAV)
|
|
|
|
### 1. Filter segmentation (exclude uninformative images)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python -m scripts.filter_segmentation --output meta/seg_filter.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2. Train baseline (no text)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python -m src.training.train_gtauav --baseline --filter-meta meta/seg_filter.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. Train with captions (L1/L2/L3)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python -m src.training.train_gtauav --filter-meta meta/seg_filter.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 4. Compare and get verdict
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
|
## Code style
|
|
|
|
- `from __future__ import annotations` everywhere
|
|
- Type hints on all signatures
|
|
- Google-style docstrings
|
|
- No emojis in code, English-only comments
