Figure, table and section ledger
Editorial contribution type: Architecture & representation (primary).
Layout extraction, not a required paper template. Counts are distinct caption labels; a multi-panel figure counts once. Section spans are estimated from heading positions, including floats and whitespace. Method and limitations.

Section-by-section lengths and source pages
The title/abstract/front matter precede the first numbered heading. A span ends at the next detected top-level heading, not at the last sentence; end-page whitespace is included. References and statements are listed separately. These are not measurements of text-only or artwork area.

Argument and organization
- 1 Introduction; 2 Related Work
Pairs global receptive-field cost with the wish for a physically motivated visual operator.
- 3 Proposed RS-vHeat
Separates frequency masking, heat-inspired encoding and multi-domain reconstruction/contrastive objectives.
- 4 Experiments; 5 Conclusion
Measures resolution-dependent resources before four downstream task families and component/loss controls.
Problem, claim and contribution
Motivates the operator through the conflict between global dependencies and high-resolution remote-sensing costs, with small-object masking as a second design issue.
Sections 1 and 3, physical pp.1–4 · Main paper
Argument and section order
The method moves from frequency-domain input construction to an encoder and then to the losses, while downstream heads and modalities are explained task by task.
Sections 3 and 4.2, pp.3–7 · Main paper
Figures, captions and visual explanation
A high-level pretraining strip is expanded into modality/frequency branches and a repeated-stage inset; labels separate paired from unpaired optical/SAR data.
Figure 2, p.3 · Main paper
Tables, comparisons and evidence
Resolution curves report throughput, GPU memory and FLOPs separately with one A100 80GB and batch size 32 in the caption; downstream tables group backbone families instead of implying identical pretraining.
Figure 4, p.5; Tables 1 and 4, pp.6–7 · Main paper
Appendix and reproducibility
The prior vHeat design, masking details, dataset descriptions and qualitative outputs are deferred to supplementary material; only main pointers were checked.
Sections 2–4, pp.2–4,6 · Main paper
Clarity and writing conventions
The results openly acknowledge lower accuracy than the much larger SkySense on some segmentation settings, retaining a quality/resource tradeoff.
Section 4.2, p.6 · Main paper
What to reuse—and what not to infer
Transferable lesson: For a physically inspired architecture, connect each analogy to an explicit computation and evaluate its resource advantage across input resolutions.
Boundary: The learned thermal space is not a measured temperature field; physical inspiration alone does not validate interpretability. Resource curves use a fixed batch/hardware contract and do not equal deployment latency for every downstream head.
Apply this lesson using the argument and evidence worksheet.
