Abstract
Geospatial technologies are becoming increasingly es-
sential in our world for a wide range of applications,
including agriculture, urban planning, and disaster re-
sponse. To help improve the applicability and performance
of deep learning models on these geospatial tasks, vari-
ous works have begun investigating foundation models for
this domain. Researchers have explored two prominent ap-
proaches for introducing such models in geospatial appli-
cations, but both have drawbacks in terms of limited per-
formance benefit or prohibitive training cost. Therefore,
in this work, we propose a novel paradigm for building
highly effective geospatial foundation models with minimal
resource cost and carbon impact. We first construct a com-
pact yet diverse dataset from multiple sources to promote
feature diversity, which we term GeoPile. Then, we in-
vestigate the potential of continual pretraining from large-
scale ImageNet-22k models and propose a multi-objective
continual pretraining paradigm, which leverages the strong
representations of ImageNet while simultaneously provid-
ing the freedom to learn valuable in-domain features. Our
approach outperforms previous state-of-the-art geospatial
pretraining methods in an extensive evaluation on seven
downstream datasets covering various tasks such as change
detection, classification, multi-label classification, seman-
tic segmentation, and super-resolution. Code is available
