contents Change detection (CD) in remote sensing is vital for applications such as urban monitoring and disaster assessment, yet traditional methods struggle with generalization across diverse scenarios. We present OmniCD, a foundational framework that unifies and enhances remote sensing CD through multimodal semantic guidance. OmniCD incorporates image and text prompts -- such as textual descriptions, semantic maps, and geospatial metadata -- into a unified architecture, supporting tasks from binary CD to zero-shot semantic change understanding. The framework integrates a hierarchical scene retrieval module and a change detection module, reinforced by a style disentanglement mechanism for improved cross-domain robustness. We further introduce RSITCD, a large-scale multimodal dataset with 300K+ annotated image-text pairs. Extensive experiments show that OmniCD achieves state-of-the-art performance across benchmarks, demonstrating strong adaptability and setting a solid foundation for general-purpose CD systems in remote sensing.
