Welcome to Our Group
Our research focuses on multimodal spatial intelligence, structural and compositional understanding of scenes, and the application of these techniques to remote sensing interpretation and underwater environment understanding. These involve techniques like:
- MLLM-assisted Spatial Reasoning, e.g., Object-goal Navigation, Visual-language Navigation, Multimodal Reasoning.
- Scene Graph Generation, e.g., Remote Sensing / Under-water Scene Graph Generation.
- Change Detection, Semantic Segmentation, and Instance Segmentation.

Spatially Anisotropic Reasoning Network for Remote Sensing Scene Graph Generation
Wenbin Wang, Yiheng Chen, Hang Sun, Dong Ren, Yansheng Li
- Remote sensing images contain multiple functional subscenes, while relation semantics are strongly shaped by objects’ relative spatial configurations.
- SARNet introduces Anisotropic Ellipse Influence Propagation (AEIP) to model object-centered spatial influence and suppress noisy long-range interactions, together with Relative Spatial Configuration Attention (RSCA) to enhance geometry-discriminative relation representations.
- CODE release: SARNet
Importance First: Generating Scene Graph of Human Interest
Wenbin Wang, Ruiping Wang, Shiguang Shan, Xilin Chen
- There exists a hierarchical preference about human perception when they analyze a natural scene.
- SGoI (Scene Graph of Human Interest) generation framework is proposed to present the scene graph according to the content importance.
- CODE release: TGIR
Topic Scene Graph Generation by Attention Distillation from Caption
Wenbin Wang, Ruiping Wang, Xilin Chen
- Scene graph generation and image captioning can be viewed as two forms of scene understanding.
- A shared framework that jointly generates scene graph and image caption is proposed in this work.
- CODE release: MMSceneGraph
: an SGG toolkit based on MMdetection, including most SOTA SGG methods.
