SLIP-RS: Structured-Attribute Language-Image Pre-Training for Remote Sensing Object Detection

Abstract

Existing language-image pre-training for remote sensing object detection is constrained by Monolithic Label Learning, which relies on exhaustively enumerating open-set categories via black-box data to acquire fine-grained representations, creating a dependency incompatible with the domain's inherent data scarcity. To transcend this bottleneck, we propose SLIP-RS, establishing a Structured-Attribute Decoupling Paradigm that maps the open-ended category space into a finite, physically meaningful attribute space, unlocking fine-grained discriminability via explicit structural logic. This paradigm is realized via two technical pillars: (1) Structured-Attribute Contrastive Learning, which enforces the learning of decoupled intrinsic visual logic via combinatorial attribute augmentation; and (2) Conformal Attribute Reliability Engine, which leverages conformal prediction theory to rigorously distill high-fidelity supervision from noisy sources, yielding RS-Attribute-15M, the largest dataset with over 15 million attribute annotations. Extensive experiments demonstrate that SLIP-RS establishes unprecedented performance in fine-grained detection and cross-domain generalization, validating structured attributes as a vital foundation for remote sensing.
