  • 将矢量地图视为类似GeoJSON的结构化文本,统一建模不同地物
  • 在54K图像上实现800K实例的准确生成,跨数据集泛化能力强
  • 适合遥感、地理信息系统等需多类矢量生成的场景

遥感矢量制图旨在从遥感影像中生成建筑、道路、水体等地理实体的结构化地图。实际中,矢量地图常包含多类别图层和异构实体结构,需统一模型应对多样需求。现有方法多将矢量对象表示为多边形或图结构,仅适用于特定类别:多边形难以表达拓扑关系,图结构又易模糊实例边界。我们观察到语言作为人类沟通媒介,具备灵活表达能力,可融合几何、语义与拓扑信息。受此启发,提出向量地图即语言(VecLang)统一范式,将多类矢量制图重构为结构化文本生成任务。VecLang将不同地理实体的共性要素编码为类似GeoJSON的矢量语言,支持跨类别建模。设计渐进式视觉-语言映射框架,先定位矢量化单元,再生成结构化元素。引入分层矢量语言优化,通过强化学习提升语法正确性、内容保真度与地图可执行性。构建包含54,000张图像和800,000个实例的VecMap-Bench基准,支持标准与泛化设置下的训练与评估。大量实验表明,VecLang兼具单类与多类矢量制图能力,并实现优异的跨数据集与开放词汇泛化性能。模型与数据集已开源于https://github.com/yyyyll0ss/VecLang。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Remote sensing vector mapping aims to generate structured maps of geospatial entities, such as buildings, roads, and water bodies, from remote sensing imagery. In practice, vector maps usually contain multiple category layers and heterogeneous entity structures, requiring a unified model for diverse mapping needs. However, existing methods typically represent vector objects as polygons or graphs, making them suitable only for specific categories: polygons poorly capture topological relations, while graphs often blur instance boundaries. We observe that language, as a natural medium for human communication, offers a flexible and expressive representation that can accommodate heterogeneous map elements, including geometry, semantics, and topolog. Motivated by this insight, we propose Vector Map as Language (VecLang), a unified paradigm that reformulates multiclass vector mapping as structured text generation. VecLang encodes the common elements of different geospatial entities into a GeoJSON-like vector language, enabling cross-category modeling within a shared textual format. To generate this language reliably, we design a progressive vision-language mapping framework that first localizes vectorization units and then generates structured map elements. We further introduce Hierarchical Vector Language Optimization, which uses reinforcement learning to improve syntax validity, content fidelity, and map executability. We also build VecMap-Bench with 54K images and 800K instances, supporting training and evaluation across standard and generalization settings. Extensive experiments demonstrate that VecLang handles both single-class and multiclass vector mapping while achieving strong cross-dataset and open-vocabulary generalization. The model and dataset are publicly available at https://github.com/yyyyll0ss/VecLang.
