SPEAR NeXT Causal Latent Forecasting Across Multiple Horizons for Spectral Temporal Earth Representation Learning

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 15, 2026 · UTC

Earth observation is inherently dynamic, yet temporal information in many foundation models is learned through reconstruction, invariance, or retrospective sequence summarization. SPEAR NeXT is introduced as a compact pixel-wise multimodal spectral temporal foundation model in which temporal self supervision is formulated as past only, multi horizon latent Earth state prediction. Instantaneous states are first encoded by the pretrained SPEAR model from optical, radar, and environmental observations into compact 32 dimensional embeddings. Their temporal evolution is then modeled by a causally m
