Evidencepartial
Experimental results on University-1652 and SUES-200 show that our SFT framework substantially outperforms satellite-free generalization baselines
Implicationpartial
Directly stated in abstract with clear comparative results
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
narrows the gap to methods trained with satellite imagery
Implicationpartial
Directly stated in abstract but without specific quantitative comparison
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
we first reconstruct dense 3D scenes from multi-view drone images using 3D Gaussian splatting
Implicationpartial
Explicitly stated as a core method component
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
project the reconstructed geometry into pseudo-orthophotos via PCA-guided orthographic projection
Implicationpartial
Explicitly stated as a key technical step
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
This rendering stage operates directly on reconstructed scene geometry without requiring camera parameters at rendering time
Implicationpartial
Directly stated technical feature of the method
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
we refine these orthophotos with lightweight geometry-guided inpainting to obtain texture-complete drone-side views
Implicationpartial
Explicitly described as part of the method pipeline
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
we extract DINOv3 patch features from the generated orthophotos, learn a Fisher vector aggregation model solely from drone data
Implicationpartial
Directly stated technical implementation detail
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
Existing approaches rely on satellite imagery during training, either through paired supervision or unsupervised alignment, which limits practical deployment when satellite data are unavailable or restricted
Implicationpartial
Directly stated limitation of existing methods that motivates the proposed approach
Verificationpartial
