构建首个面向地理空间推理的基准测试,推动遥感从识别走向深层分析。
TerraLogic: A Benchmark for Hierarchical Geospatial Reasoning in Earth Observation

- 设计分层任务框架,支持多模态遥感数据的复杂推理。
- 提出HieraPlan代理,实现故障容错与长期规划能力。
- 适用于遥感智能分析、城市规划等需要深度决策的场景。
超越感知,推理在遥感中对高级解读、推断和决策至关重要。尽管大语言模型(LLMs)已催生可调用外部工具的智能体,但现有研究仍集中于感知任务,认知层面的地理空间推理尚未充分探索。为此,我们提出TerraLogic,一个面向地理空间推理的基准测试。该基准包含545个场景驱动、层次感知的任务,涵盖灾害脆弱性评估、城市热岛分析、森林破碎化动态等,覆盖光学、合成孔径雷达(SAR)及红外(IR)影像。它将评估从识别与监测推进至认知级地理分析。为支持评测,我们进一步提出HieraPlan——一种工具增强型智能体,通过功能分层组织工具集,实现结构化抽象、故障容错与稳定长程规划。大量实验表明,当前方法在分层地理推理上表现不佳,而HieraPlan提供了强基线,显著提升推理能力、跨模态泛化性与错误处理性能。数据集与代码已公开:https://github.com/Ireliya/TerraLogic。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Beyond perception, reasoning is essential in remote sensing for advanced interpretation, inference, and decision-making. Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have enabled tool-augmented agents that leverage external tools to perform complex analytical tasks. However, existing studies in remote sensing primarily focus on perception-oriented tasks, leaving cognitive geospatial reasoning largely underexplored. To address this gap, we introduce TerraLogic, a benchmark for geospatial reasoning. TerraLogic comprises 545 scenario-driven, hierarchy-aware tasks, such as hazard vulnerability assessment, urban heat island analysis, and forest fragmentation dynamics, spanning optical, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), and infrared (IR) imagery. It advances evaluation beyond recognition and monitoring toward cognitive-level geospatial analysis. To facilitate evaluation on TerraLogic, we further propose HieraPlan, a tool-augmented agent that organizes toolkits into functional hierarchies and performs fault-tolerant reasoning. HieraPlan enables structured abstraction, robust recovery from tool failures, and stable long-horizon planning. Extensive experiments demonstrate that current approaches struggle with hierarchical geospatial reasoning, while HieraPlan provides a strong baseline with improved reasoning, cross-modal generalization, and error handling. The dataset and agent code are publicly available at https://github.com/Ireliya/TerraLogic.
