arXiv:2605.20372v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal semantic segmentation benefits remote sensing analysis by combining complementary information from different sensor modalities. In real-world remote sensing applications, one or more modalities may be unavailable due to sensor failures, adverse atmospheric conditions, or data acquisition problems. Even with pretrained multimodal representations and existing fine-tuning or adaptation strategies, performance may remain limited because all modality availability scenarios are typically treated as equally informative during training.

Ongoing advancements in AI and remote sensing necessitate robust solutions for real-world data variability, making multimodal segmentation under missing data a critical challenge. The publication reflects continuous academic efforts to improve the practical applicability of AI in diverse conditions.
This research addresses a fundamental limitation in applying multimodal AI models, particularly in remote sensing, where complete data availability is rare, enhancing the reliability and utility of AI systems under imperfect conditions. Improving the robustness of such systems allows for broader deployment and more dependable outcomes in critical applications.
The proposed 'Latent Space Guided Scenario Sampling' method aims to improve multimodal segmentation performance when sensor data is incomplete by training models to better handle diverse missing data scenarios. This changes the approach to model training by making it more adaptive to real-world data limitations.
