Title
Sparse-Constrained Adaptive Structure Consistency-Based Unsupervised Image Regression for Heterogeneous Remote- Sensing Change Detection
Abstract
Change detection of heterogeneous multitemporal satellite images is an important and challenging topic in remote sensing. Since the imaging mechanisms of heterogeneous sensors are different, it is not possible to directly compare heterogeneous images to detect changes as in the homogeneous images. To address this challenge, we propose an unsupervised image regression-based change detection method based on the structure consistency. The proposed method first adaptively constructs a similarity graph to represent the structure of a pre-event image, then uses the graph to translate the pre-event image to the domain of the post-event image, and then computes the difference image. Finally, a superpixel-based Markovian segmentation model is designed to segment the difference image into changed and unchanged classes. The proposed adaptive structure consistency-based image regression model can not only alleviate the impact of noise and changed pixels on the regression process by using the structure-based transformation, but also easily distinguish between changed and unchanged classes in the difference image by using the prior sparse knowledge of changes. Experimental results on six different datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method by comparing with some state-of-the-art methods.
