# GeoZero: Incentivizing Reasoning from Scratch on Geospatial Scenes
GeoZero is a novel framework that enables Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to perform emergent geospatial reasoning from scratch, without reliance on predefined Chain-of-Thought (CoT) supervision. This approach significantly reduces annotation costs and mitigates human biases, fostering diverse yet accurate thinking for geospatial scene understanding.

## Model Description
GeoZero is built upon the Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct backbone and employs a two-stage training strategy:
1. **GeoZero-Instruct**: The model acquires preliminary geospatial knowledge through supervised fine-tuning.
2. **GeoZero-Hard**: Deep reasoning capabilities are stimulated during a subsequent reinforcement learning stage.
A key contribution of GeoZero is **Answer-Anchored Group Relative Policy Optimization (A$^2$GRPO)**, a method that regularizes the reasoning process using the model's own answers, promoting both diversity and accuracy in its cognitive functions. Extensive experiments demonstrate GeoZero's superior performance and emergent reasoning capabilities across various remote sensing vision-language benchmarks.
## Usage
### Inference
An inference script is provided in the official GitHub repository for evaluating GeoZero on various remote sensing vision-language tasks:
```bash
python single_infer_eval_geozero_think.py \
--model_path [model path] \
--json_path [dataset json path] \
--output_path [output saved path] \
--task [task type] --batchsize 4 --gpu [gpu id] --system [whether use the system prompt (Type1)]
```
