CLOSP (Contrastive Language Optical SAR Pretraining) is a multimodal architecture designed for text-to-image retrieval.
It creates a unified embedding space for text, Sentinel-2 (MSI), and Sentinel-1 (SAR) data.
The CLOSP-VS variant uses a ViT-small vision backbone.
The model uses three separate encoders: one for text, one for Sentinel-1 (SAR) data, and one for Sentinel-2 (MSI) data.
During training, it uses a contrastive objective to align the textual embeddings with the corresponding visual embeddings (either SAR or MSI).
Use the code below to get started with the model.
