Efficient Remote Sensing Instance Segmentation with Linear-Time State Space Distilled Visual Foundation Models

arXiv:2606.25324v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The computational complexity of Transformers scales quadratically with the number of tokens, which significantly constrains the efficiency of vision models, particularly recent ViT-based foundation models in dense prediction tasks. Instance segmentation, a typical dense visual prediction task in the remote sensing field, faces similar challenges. In this paper, inspired by the recent advances of knowledge distillation in large language models, we i...
