Abstract:Focusing on problems of blurred detection boundary, small target miss detection, and more pseudo changes in high-resolution remote sensing image change detection, a change detection algorithm based on Siamese neural networks is proposed. Siam-FAUnet can implement end-to-end change detection tasks. Firstly, the improved VGG16 is utilized as an encoder to extract the image features. Secondly, the atrous spatial pyramid pooling module is used to increase the receptive field of the model to make full use of the global information of the image and obtain the multi-scale contextual information of the image. The flow alignment module is used to fuse the low-level features in the encoder to the decoder and solve the problem of semantic misalignment caused by the direct concatenation of features when the features are fused, so as to obtain the change region of the image. The experiments are trained and tested using publicly available CDD and SZTAKI datasets. The results show that the evaluation metrics of the Siam-FAUnet model are improved compared to the baseline model, in which the F1-score is improved by 4.00% on the CDD and by 7.32% and 2.62% on the sub-datasets of SZTAKI (SZADA and TISZADOB), respectively; compared to other state-of-the-art methods, the Siam-FAUnet model has improved in both evaluation metrics, indicating that the model has a good detection performance.
