## Abstract (arXiv)

Image-text retrieval (ITR) plays a significant role in making informed decisions for various remote sensing (RS) applications. Nonetheless, creating ITR datasets containing vision and language modalities not only requires significant geo-spatial sampling area but also varing categories and detailed descriptions. To this end, we introduce an image caption dataset LuojiaHOG, which is geospatial-aware, label-extension-friendly and comprehensive-captioned. LuojiaHOG involves the hierarchical spatial sampling, extensible classification system to Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards, and detailed caption generation. In addition, we propose a CLIP-based Image Semantic Enhancement Network (CISEN) to promote sophisticated ITR. CISEN consists of two components, namely dual-path knowledge transfer and progressive cross-modal feature fusion. Comprehensive statistics on LuojiaHOG reveal the richness in sampling diversity, labels quantity and descriptions granularity. The evaluation on LuojiaHOG is conducted across various state-of-the-art ITR models, including ALBEF, ALIGN, CLIP, FILIP, Wukong, GeoRSCLIP and CISEN. We use second- and third-level labels to evaluate these vision-language models through adapter-tuning and CISEN demonstrates superior performance. For instance, it achieves the highest scores with WMAP@5 of 88.47% and 87.28% on third-level ITR tasks, respectively. In particular, CISEN exhibits an improvement of approximately 1.3% and 0.9% in terms of WMAP@5 compared to its baseline. These findings highlight CISEN advancements accurately retrieving pertinent information across image and text. LuojiaHOG and CISEN can serve as a foundational resource for future RS image-text alignment research, facilitating a wide range of vision-language applications.
