## Overview
MF-RSVLM is a remote sensing vision-language model (VLM). It combines a CLIP vision encoder, a two-layer MLP projector, and a Vicuna-7B LLM, and is trained in two stages for modality alignment and instruction following.

- Visual Encoder: CLIP ViT-L/14 336px
- Projector: 2-layer MLP
- LLM: Vicuna-7B v1.5
- Training: Pretrain (VersaD 1.4M image-text pairs) + SFT (instruction tuning)

### Datasets

- SFT data: https://huggingface.co/datasets/FelixKAI/RSVLM-SFT


## Training
MF-RSVLM training has two stages: pretraining for modality alignment, and supervised fine-tuning (SFT) for instruction following.

### Pretrain
Run the Slurm script below to start pretraining:
```bash
sh scripts/rs/slurm_pretrain.sh
```

### Supervised Fine-Tuning
Run the Slurm script below to start SFT:
```bash
sh scripts/rs/slurm_finetune.sh
```

## Inference Demos
### Single-Sample Inference (CLI)
Use the lightweight helper to test a single image-question pair. This script loads the model once and prints the response directly in the terminal.

```bash
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python scripts/run_mfrsvlm_inference.py \
  --model-path checkpoints/mfrsvlm-7b_sft \
  --image-path /path/to/image.png \
  --prompt "What is shown in the image?"
```


### Web Demo (Full-Model UI)
Start a simple Flask web interface for interactive evaluation. The server loads the checkpoint once, then serves a browser UI for repeated queries.

```bash
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python scripts/run_mf-rsvlm_web_server.py \
  --model-path checkpoints/mfrsvlm-7b_sft \
  --host 0.0.0.0 \
  --port 7860
```

Open `http://localhost:7860` in your browser, upload an image, and enter a question to get the model response.

## Evaluation
We provide a dedicated evaluation toolkit: [RSEvalKit](https://github.com/fitzpchao/RSEvalKit).

```bash
git clone https://github.com/fitzpchao/RSEvalKit
cd RSEvalKit
conda create -n rseval
conda activate rseval
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

Download the [model weights and datasets](#downloads), then follow the RSEvalKit README for one-click evaluation.
