CLIP-SatIR
Model Description
CLIP-SatIR is a fine-tuned CLIP (ViT-B/32) model trained on the RSICD remote sensing dataset for cross-modal satellite image retrieval. The model aligns satellite imagery and natural language captions in a shared embedding space using contrastive learning.
Supports:
- Text-to-image retrieval
- Image-to-image similarity search
- Semantic satellite search
Base Model
- openai/clip-vit-base-patch32
Dataset
- RSICD (Remote Sensing Image Caption Dataset) The dataset contains satellite imagery paired with descriptive captions covering:
- airports
- farmland
- industrial zones
- residential areas
- rivers
- urban layouts
Training Details
Objective
Contrastive CLIP loss: L = CrossEntropy(sim(image_i, text_j))
The model learns:
- maximize similarity for matching pairs
- minimize similarity for non-matching pairs

Architecture
- Vision Encoder → ViT-B/32
- Text Encoder → Transformer
- Shared 512-dimensional embedding space
Intended Use
This model is designed for:
- Satellite image retrieval
- Geospatial intelligence
- Semantic satellite search
- Urban planning analysis
- Disaster monitoring
Limitations
- Trained only on RSICD
- Limited geographic diversity
- Not suitable for critical surveillance decisions
- Retrieval quality depends on caption semantics
Inference Example
from transformers import CLIPModel, CLIPProcessor
from PIL import Image
import torch
model = CLIPModel.from_pretrained("rishii100/clip-rsicd-finetuned")
processor = CLIPProcessor.from_pretrained("rishii100/clip-rsicd-finetuned")
text = ["an airport with multiple airplanes and runway"]
inputs = processor(text=text, return_tensors="pt", padding=True)
with torch.no_grad():
text_features = model.get_text_features(**inputs)
print(text_features.shape)
