Multistage Interaction Network for Remote Sensing Change Detection.

Change detection in remote sensing imagery is vital for Earth monitoring but faces challenges such as background complexity and pseudo-changes. Effective interaction between bitemporal images is crucial for accurate change information extraction. This paper presents a multistage interaction network designed for effective change detection, incorporating interaction at the image, feature, and decision levels. At the image level, change information is directly extracted from intensity changes, mitigating potential change information loss during feature extraction. Instead of separately extracting features from bitemporal images, the feature-level interaction jointly extracts features from bitemporal images. By enhancing relevance to spatial variant information and shared semantic channels, the network excels in overcoming background complexity and pseudo-changes. The decision-level interaction combines image-level and feature-level interactions, producing multiscale feature differences for precise change prediction. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superior performance of our method compared to existing approaches, establishing it as a robust solution for remote sensing image change detection.
