• Abstract: Detecting the changes of buildings in urban environments is essential. Existing methods that use only nadir images suffer from severe problems of ambiguous features and occlusions between buildings and other regions. Furthermore, buildings in urban environments vary significantly in scale, which leads to performance issues when using single-scale features. To solve these issues, this paper proposes a fused feature pyramid network, which utilizes both color and depth data for the 3D verification of existing buildings 2D footprints from oblique images. First, the color data of oblique images are enriched with the depth information rendered from 3D mesh models. Second, multiscale features are fused in the feature pyramid network to convolve both the color and depth data. Finally, multi-view information from both the nadir and oblique images is used in a robust voting procedure to label changes in existing buildings. Experimental evaluations using both the ISPRS benchmark datasets and Shenzhen datasets reveal that the proposed method outperforms the ResNet and EfficientNet networks by 5\% and 2\%, respectively, in terms of recall rate and precision. We demonstrate that the proposed method can successfully detect all changed buildings; therefore, only those marked as changed need to be manually checked during the pipeline updating procedure; this significantly reduces the manual quality control requirements. Moreover, ablation studies indicate that using depth data, feature pyramid modules, and multi-view voting strategies can lead to clear and progressive improvements.

  We propose a method for detecting structural changes in a city using images captured from mounted cameras over two different times. A direct comparison of the two point clouds for change detection is not ideal due to inaccurate geo-location information. To circumvent this problem, we propose a deep learning-based non-rigid registration on the point clouds. Experiments show that our method is able to detect scene changes effectively, even in the presence of viewpoint and illumination differences.
