VFM-Loc: Zero-Shot Cross-View Geo-Localization via Aligning Discriminative Visual Hierarchies

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2603.13855v1 Announce Type: new Cross-View Geo-Localization (CVGL) in remote sensing aims to locate a drone-view query by matching it to geo-tagged satellite images. Although supervised methods have achieved strong results on closeset benchmarks, they often fail to generalize to unconstrained, real-world scenarios due to severe viewpoint differences and dataset bias. To overcome these limitations, we present VFM-Loc, a
