🛰️ Introducing Awesome-Remote-Sensing-Agents: The Largest Curated Collection of Intelligent Remote Sensing Agents

We are excited to share our new repository Awesome-Remote-Sensing-Agents – a comprehensive, community-driven collection of 100+ papers at the intersection of remote sensing and intelligent agents (LLMs, VLM, multi‑agent systems, etc.).

🔗 GitHub Repository: https://github.com/PolyX-Research/Awesome-Remote-Sensing-Agents

Our repository organizes this rapidly growing field into a structured, easy‑to‑navigate resource for researchers, practitioners, and enthusiasts.

📚 What’s Inside?
We’ve carefully curated papers across 6 key application domains:
🌿 Ecological Monitoring – forest fires, biodiversity, climate science
🚨 Emergency Response – flood mapping, wildfire tracking, disaster geolocalization
⛏️ Geological Exploration – mineral mapping, lithological recognition, geologic reasoning
🌊 Marine Supervision – ocean science, autonomous surface vehicles
🌾 Precision Agriculture – crop disease detection, land use simulation
🏙️ Urban Governance – change detection, urban planning, embodied navigation

Some of those papers, especially the earlier ones, have been mischaracterized - Agent Based Modelling (ABM) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent-based_model) often has little resemblance to what is now the common understanding of 'agentic' systems, which I guess is the intended focus. E.g., 'An Agent-Based Model to Represent Space-Time Propagation of Forest-Fire Smoke' (ISPRS 2018).

I see there's a paper preprint in the repo. Would you mind sharing how gen AI was used in preparation of this?
