Robust Remote Sensing Image-text Retrieval With Noisy Correspondence

Abstract

As a pivotal task that bridges remote visual and linguistic understanding, Remote Sensing Image-Text Retrieval (RSITR) has attracted considerable research interest in recent years. However, almost all RSITR methods implicitly assume that image-text pairs are matched perfectly. In practice, acquiring a large set of well-aligned data pairs is often prohibitively expensive or even infeasible. In addition, we also notice that the remote sensing datasets (e.g., RSITMD) truly contain some inaccurate or mismatched image text descriptions. Based on the above observations, we reveal an important but untouched problem in RSITR, i.e., Noisy Correspondence (NC). To overcome these challenges, we propose a novel Robust Remote Sensing Image-Text Retrieval (RRSITR) paradigm that designs a self-paced learning strategy to mimic human cognitive learning patterns, thereby learning from easy to hard from multi-modal data with NC. Specifically, we first divide all training sample pairs into three categories
