# OptiSAR-Net++ — Official Weights

Official trained weights (`best.pt`) of **OptiSAR-Net++: A Large-Scale Benchmark and Transformer-Free Framework for Cross-Domain Remote Sensing Visual Grounding**.

OptiSAR-Net++ is a **transformer-free** framework for Cross-Domain Remote Sensing Visual Grounding (CD-RSVG): a single unified model localizes targets described by free-form natural language in **both optical and SAR** remote sensing imagery, replacing a heavy Transformer decoder with **contrastive region–text matching**.

- 🤗 **Dataset**: [JunDong-dev/OptSAR-RSVG](https://huggingface.co/datasets/JunDong-dev/OptSAR-RSVG)
- 💻 **Code**: [GitHub — JunDong-dev/OptiSAR-Net-PlusPlus](https://github.com/JunDong-dev/OptiSAR-Net-PlusPlus)

## 🏗️ Architecture

The checkpoint follows a YOLOE-style single-stage detector extended with:

| Component | Location | Role |
|---|---|---|
| **PLoRA-MoE** | Backbone | Patch-level low-rank-adaptation Mixture-of-Experts for optical/SAR feature disentanglement |
| **TGDG-SSA** | Neck (×3) | Language-guided multi-scale fusion of visual features with text embeddings |
| **OptiSARNetPlusPlusDetect** | Head | Region–text contrastive matching head with region-aware auxiliary supervision |
| MobileCLIP2-B (frozen) | Text encoder | Encodes referring expressions |

Key config of this checkpoint: `nc: 16` classes, `scale: m`, `reg_max: 16`.

## 📦 Files

| File | Description |
|---|---|
| `best.pt` | Trained weights (≈ 129 MB). The model architecture/modules are defined in the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/JunDong-dev/OptiSAR-Net-PlusPlus). |

## 📈 Results — OptSAR-RSVG Test Split

Evaluated on the [OptSAR-RSVG](https://huggingface.co/datasets/JunDong-dev/OptSAR-RSVG) test split (4,434 images / 8,103 referring expressions). All values in %.

| Domain | Samples | Pr@0.5 | Pr@0.6 | Pr@0.7 | Pr@0.8 | Pr@0.9 | meanIoU | cumIoU |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| **All** | 8,103 | **93.61** | 93.19 | 91.94 | 87.75 | 66.43 | **85.94** | **92.11** |
| Optical | 6,027 | 93.01 | 92.58 | 91.67 | 88.58 | 72.99 | 86.48 | 92.25 |
| SAR | 2,076 | 95.33 | 94.94 | 92.73 | 85.31 | 47.40 | 84.38 | 83.21 |

Benchmark comparisons against TransVG, LQVG, TACMT, CSDNet, Grounding DINO, GLIP, etc. are reported in the [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.24876) and the [GitHub README](https://github.com/JunDong-dev/OptiSAR-Net-PlusPlus).

## 🚀 Usage

`best.pt` contains **custom modules** (`PLoRA_MoE`, `TGDG_SSA`, `OptiSARNetPlusPlusDetect`), so it must be loaded with the project code rather than a stock Ultralytics install:

```bash
# 1. Clone the official repository (defines the custom modules & inference entry points)
git clone https://github.com/JunDong-dev/OptiSAR-Net-PlusPlus.git
cd OptiSAR-Net-PlusPlus
pip install -r requirements.txt

# 2. Download the checkpoint and the dataset
hf download JunDong-dev/OptiSAR-Net-PlusPlus best.pt --local-dir .
hf download JunDong-dev/OptSAR-RSVG --repo-type dataset --local-dir OptSAR-RSVG

# 3. Run evaluation / inference with the scripts provided in the repository README
```

Evaluation metrics follow the standard CD-RSVG protocol: Pr@{0.5–0.9}, meanIoU, cumIoU, with per-domain (`optical` / `sar`) reporting.

## 🎯 Intended Use

- Cross-domain (optical ↔ SAR) referring expression comprehension / visual grounding in remote sensing
- Research on multi-modal fusion, parameter-efficient MoE adaptation, and contrastive region–text matching
