• Abstract: Deep learning (DL)-based methods have recently shown great promise in bitemporal change detection (CD). Existing discriminative methods based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Transformers rely on discriminative representation learning for change recognition while struggling with exploring local and long-range contextual dependencies. As a result, it is still challenging to obtain fine-grained and robust CD maps in diverse ground scenes. To cope with this challenge, this work proposes a generative change detection model called GCD-DDPM to directly generate CD maps by exploiting the Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Model (DDPM), instead of classifying each pixel into changed or unchanged categories. Furthermore, the Difference Conditional Encoder (DCE), is designed to guide the generation of CD maps by exploiting multi-level difference features. Leveraging the variational inference (VI) procedure, GCD-DDPM can adaptively re-calibrate the CD results through an iterative inference process, while accurately distinguishing subtle and irregular changes in diverse scenes. Finally, a Noise Suppression-based Semantic Enhancer (NSSE) is specifically designed to mitigate noise in the current step's change-aware feature representations from the CD Encoder. This refinement, serving as an attention map, can guide subsequent iterations while enhancing CD accuracy. Extensive experiments on four high-resolution CD datasets confirm the superior performance of the proposed GCD-DDPM. The code for this work will be available at https://github.com/udrs/GCD.

  ChangeAnywhere is a novel CD sample generation method using the semantic latent diffusion model and single-temporal images. ChangeAnywhere captures the two essentials of CD samples, i.e. change implies semantically different, and non-change implies reasonable change under the same semantic constraints. The ChangeAnywhere-100K significantly improved both zero-shot and few-shot performance on two CD benchmark datasets for various deep learning-based CD models.

  Existing customization methods require access to multiple reference examples to align pre-trained diffusion probabilistic models with user-provided concepts. This paper aims to address the challenge of DPM customization when the only available supervision is a differentiable metric defined on the generated contents. We propose a novel method AdjointDPM, which first generates new samples from diffusion models by solving the corresponding probability-flow ODEs. It then uses the adjoint sensitivity method to backpropagate the gradients of the loss to the models' parameters.
