• Title: SiamixFormer: a fully-transformer Siamese network with temporal Fusion for accurate building detection and change detection in bi-temporal remote sensing images
• Authors: Amir Mohammadian, Foad Ghaderi
• Abstract summary: Building detection and change detection using remote sensing images can help urban and rescue planning. Currently, most of the existing models for building detection use only one image (pre-disaster image) to detect buildings. In this paper, we propose a siamese model, called SiamixFormer, which uses pre- and post-disaster images as input.

• Abstract: Building detection and change detection using remote sensing images can help urban and rescue planning. Moreover, they can be used for building damage assessment after natural disasters. Currently, most of the existing models for building detection use only one image (pre-disaster image) to detect buildings. This is based on the idea that post-disaster images reduce the model's performance because of presence of destroyed buildings. In this paper, we propose a siamese model, called SiamixFormer, which uses pre- and post-disaster images as input. Our model has two encoders and has a hierarchical transformer architecture. The output of each stage in both encoders is given to a temporal transformer for feature fusion in a way that query is generated from pre-disaster images and (key, value) is generated from post-disaster images. To this end, temporal features are also considered in feature fusion. Another advantage of using temporal transformers in feature fusion is that they can better maintain large receptive fields generated by transformer encoders compared with CNNs. Finally, the output of the temporal transformer is given to a simple MLP decoder at each stage. The SiamixFormer model is evaluated on xBD, and WHU datasets, for building detection and on LEVIR-CD and CDD datasets for change detection and could outperform the state-of-the-art.

  We propose a zero-shot entropy-based detector (ZED) to detect AI-generated images. Inspired by recent works on machine-generated text detection, our idea is to measure how surprising the image under analysis is compared to a model of real images. ZED achieves an average improvement of more than 3% over the SoTA in terms of accuracy.

  We leverage deep features extracted from a pretrained vision transformer (ViT) to encourage recovered images to be sharp without sacrificing the performance measured by the quantitative metrics. By comparing the transformer features between recovered image and target one, the pretrained transformer provides high-resolution blur-sensitive semantic information. One regards the features as vectors and computes the discrepancy between representations extracted from recovered image and target one in Euclidean space.

We use a convolutional autoencoder as a generator to create new images by injecting objects into images via local Pyramid and reconstruction of their features extracted in hidden layers. Then due to the larger number of simulated images, we use a visual transformer to enhance outputs of each ResNet layer that serve as inputs to a feature pyramid network.
