GeoSeg: Training-Free Reasoning-Driven Segmentation in Remote Sensing Imagery

arXiv:2603.03983v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in MLLMs are reframing segmentation from fixed-category prediction to instruction-grounded localization. While reasoning based segmentation has progressed rapidly in natural scenes, remote sensing lacks a generalizable solution due to the prohibitive cost of reasoning-oriented data and domain-specific challenges like overhead viewpoints. We present GeoSeg, a zero-shot, training-free framework that bypasses the supervision bottlen
