• Abstract: Few-shot remote sensing image classification is challenging due to limited labeled samples and high variability in land-cover types. We propose a reconstruction-guided few-shot network (RGFS-Net) that enhances generalization to unseen classes while preserving consistency for seen categories. Our method incorporates a masked image reconstruction task, where parts of the input are occluded and reconstructed to encourage semantically rich feature learning. This auxiliary task strengthens spatial understanding and improves class discrimination under low-data settings. We evaluated the efficacy of EuroSAT and PatternNet datasets under 1-shot and 5-shot protocols, our approach consistently outperforms existing baselines. The proposed method is simple, effective, and compatible with standard backbones, offering a robust solution for few-shot remote sensing classification. Codes are available at https://github.com/stark0908/RGFS.

  Image Retrieval with Relevance Feedback (IRRF) involves iterative human interaction during the retrieval process. We propose a new scheme based on a hyper-network, that is tailored to the task and facilitates swift adjustment to user feedback. We show that our method can attain SoTA results in few-shot one-class classification and reach comparable results in binary classification task of few-shot open-set recognition.

We propose Re-scoring using Image-language Similarity for Few-shot object detection (RISF) which extends Faster R-CNN.

  Cap2Aug is an image-to-image diffusion model-based data augmentation strategy using image captions as text prompts. We generate captions from the limited training images and using these captions edit the training images using an image-to-image stable diffusion model. This strategy generates augmented versions of images similar to the training images yet provides semantic diversity across the samples.

  We propose a novel Disentangled Feature Representation framework, dubbed DFR, for few-shot learning applications. DFR can adaptively decouple the discriminative features that are modeled by the classification branch, from the class-irrelevant component of the variation branch. In general, most of the popular deep few-shot learning methods can be plugged in as the classification branch, thus DFR can boost their performance on various few-shot tasks.
