Release the DIOR_RSVG dataset.

[2022/10/22]: Publish the manuscript on arXiv.

💬 Introduction

This is Multi-Granularity Visual Language Fusion (MGVLF) Network, the PyTorch source code of the paper "RSVG: Exploring Data and Model for Visual Grounding on Remote Sensing Data". It is built on top of the TransVG in PyTorch. Our method is a transformer-based method for visual grounding for remote sensing data (RSVG). It has achieved the SOTA performance in the RSVG task on our constructed RSVG dataset.

👁️Requirements and Installation

We recommended the following dependencies.

🔍Download Dataset

Download our constructed RSVG dataset files. We build the first large-scale dataset for RSVG, termed DIOR-RSVG, which can be downloaded from our Google Drive. The download link is available below:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hTqtYsC6B-m4ED2ewx5oKuYZV13EoJp_?usp=sharing

We expect the directory and file structure to be the following:
