Remote sensing understanding inherently requires multi-resolution observation, since different targets and application tasks demand different levels of spatial detail. While low-resolution (LR) imagery enables efficient global observation, high-resolution (HR) imagery provides critical local details at much higher acquisition cost and limited coverage. This motivates a cross-scale sensing strategy that selectively acquires HR imagery from LR-based global perception to improve task performance under constrained cost. Existing methods for HR sampling methods typically make selection decisions from isolated LR patches, which ignore fine-grained intra-patch importance and cross-patch contextual interactions, leading to fragmented feature representation and suboptimal scene reasoning under sparse HR observations. To address this issue, we formulate cross-scale remote sensing understanding as a unified cost-aware problem that couples fine-grained HR sampling with cross-patch representation prediction, enabling more effective task reasoning with fewer HR observations. Furthermore, we present GL-10M, a large-scale benchmark of 10 million spatially aligned multi-resolution images, enabling systematic evaluation of budget-constrained cross-scale reasoning in remote sensing. Extensive experiments on recognition and retrieval tasks show that our method consistently achieves a superior performance-cost trade-off.

Retrieval-Augmented Large Language Models (RALMs) have made significant strides in enhancing the accuracy of generated responses.However, existing research often overlooks the data quality issues within retrieval results, often caused by inaccurate existing vector-distance-based retrieval methods.We propose to boost the precision of RALMs' answers from a data quality perspective through the Context-Driven Index Trimming (CDIT) framework, where Context Matching Dependencies (CMDs) are employed as logical data quality rules to capture and regulate the consistency between retrieved contexts.Based on the semantic comprehension capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs), CDIT can effectively identify and discard retrieval results that are inconsistent with the query context and further modify indexes in the database, thereby improving answer quality.Experiments demonstrate on challenging question-answering tasks.Also, the flexibility of CDIT is verified through its compatibility with various language models and indexing methods, which offers a promising approach to bolster RALMs' data quality and retrieval precision jointly.
