The recent developments in the field of computer vision and remote sensing are increasingly focusing on the unification and generalization of models across different modalities and tasks. A significant trend is the move towards creating models that can handle multiple tasks or modalities without the need for task-specific designs or separate training sessions. This approach not only reduces redundancy and enhances cross-modal knowledge sharing but also improves the models' applicability in versatile scenarios. Innovations include the introduction of unified frameworks for single object tracking across various modalities, the development of modality-invariant image matching techniques, and the creation of models capable of multi-modal remote sensing object detection. Additionally, there is a notable advancement in the methods for online multi-object visual tracking and source-free domain generalization, particularly in improving style synthesis for multi-category scenarios. These developments are paving the way for more robust, efficient, and generalizable models in computer vision and remote sensing applications.
