By providing curated, high-quality dataset recommendations, this repository addresses the critical data needs for developing advanced Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) in Remote Sensing.
Inspired by the JE project, we have adopted GitHub Issues to manage our datasets. With the help of Labels, it's easy to filter the datasets we need. I won't go into extensive detail about the benefits of using GitHub Issues as a database, but if you're an open-source enthusiast, trust me, you'll love it.
We encourage researchers to submit outstanding results that we may have missed to the project's Issues. Please provide the essential information based on the provided template. Subsequently, we will add appropriate labels and update the README page accordingly. We also encourage users to join the discussion under each issue—sharing their experiences, feedback, and whether they would recommend the dataset to others.

Image Captioning and Retrieval tasks share the same dataset, consisting of images and their corresponding descriptions. The key difference is that captioning allows multiple textual descriptions per image.
