• Title: Unsupervised CD in satellite image time series by contrastive learning and feature tracking
• Authors: Yuxing Chen, Lorenzo Bruzzone
• Abstract summary: We propose a two-stage approach to unsupervised change detection in satellite image time-series using contrastive learning with feature tracking. By deriving pseudo labels from pre-trained models and using feature tracking to propagate them among the image time-series, we improve the consistency of our pseudo labels and address the challenges of seasonal changes in long-term remote sensing image time-series.

• Abstract: While unsupervised change detection using contrastive learning has been significantly improved the performance of literature techniques, at present, it only focuses on the bi-temporal change detection scenario. Previous state-of-the-art models for image time-series change detection often use features obtained by learning for clustering or training a model from scratch using pseudo labels tailored to each scene. However, these approaches fail to exploit the spatial-temporal information of image time-series or generalize to unseen scenarios. In this work, we propose a two-stage approach to unsupervised change detection in satellite image time-series using contrastive learning with feature tracking. By deriving pseudo labels from pre-trained models and using feature tracking to propagate them among the image time-series, we improve the consistency of our pseudo labels and address the challenges of seasonal changes in long-term remote sensing image time-series. We adopt the self-training algorithm with ConvLSTM on the obtained pseudo labels, where we first use supervised contrastive loss and contrastive random walks to further improve the feature correspondence in space-time. Then a fully connected layer is fine-tuned on the pre-trained multi-temporal features for generating the final change maps. Through comprehensive experiments on two datasets, we demonstrate consistent improvements in accuracy on fitting and inference scenarios.
