• Abstract summary: We propose a new task called semantic change pattern analysis for aerial images. Given a pair of co-registered aerial images, the task requires a result including both where and what changes happen. We provide the first well-annotated aerial image dataset for this task.

• Abstract: Change detection is an important problem in vision field, especially for aerial images. However, most works focus on traditional change detection, i.e., where changes happen, without considering the change type information, i.e., what changes happen. Although a few works have tried to apply semantic information to traditional change detection, they either only give the label of emerging objects without taking the change type into consideration, or set some kinds of change subjectively without specifying semantic information. To make use of semantic information and analyze change types comprehensively, we propose a new task called semantic change pattern analysis for aerial images. Given a pair of co-registered aerial images, the task requires a result including both where and what changes happen. We then describe the metric adopted for the task, which is clean and interpretable. We further provide the first well-annotated aerial image dataset for this task. Extensive baseline experiments are conducted as reference for following works. The aim of this work is to explore high-level information based on change detection and facilitate the development of this field with the publicly available dataset.

  We introduce a new task named Change Detection Question Answering and Grounding (CDQAG) CDQAG extends the traditional change detection task by providing interpretable textual answers and intuitive visual evidence. We construct the first CDQAG benchmark dataset, termed QAG-360K, comprising over 360K triplets of questions, textual answers, and corresponding high-quality visual masks.

AnyChange is built on the segment anything model (SAM) via our training-free adaptation method, bitemporal latent matching. We also propose a point query mechanism to enable AnyChange's zero-shot object-centric change detection capability.

  Image foundation models have primarily been evaluated for semantic content. We measure the visual content of embeddings along many axes, including image style, quality, and a range of natural and artificial transformations. We find that image-text models (CLIP and ALIGN) are better at recognizing new examples of style transfer than masking-based models (CAN and MAE)

  We leverage existing maps describing features of the earth's surface for change detection in bi-temporal images. We show that the simple integration of the additional information via concatenation of latent representations suffices to significantly outperform state-of-the-art change detection methods. Our approach outperforms existing change detection methods by an absolute 11.7% and 18.4% in terms of binary change IoU on DynamicEarthNet and HRSCD, respectively.

  We tackle geometric shifts emerging from variations in the image capture process. We introduce a self-training approach that learns a set of geometric transformations to minimize these shifts. We evaluate our method on two different shifts, i.e., a camera's field of view (FoV) change and a viewpoint change.
