• Abstract: Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image change detection is a critical task and has received increasing attentions in the remote sensing community. However, existing SAR change detection methods are mainly based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs), with limited consideration of global attention mechanism. In this letter, we explore Transformer-like architecture for SAR change detection to incorporate global attention. To this end, we propose a convolution and attention mixer (CAMixer). First, to compensate the inductive bias for Transformer, we combine self-attention with shift convolution in a parallel way. The parallel design effectively captures the global semantic information via the self-attention and performs local feature extraction through shift convolution simultaneously. Second, we adopt a gating mechanism in the feed-forward network to enhance the non-linear feature transformation. The gating mechanism is formulated as the element-wise multiplication of two parallel linear layers. Important features can be highlighted, leading to high-quality representations against speckle noise. Extensive experiments conducted on three SAR datasets verify the superior performance of the proposed CAMixer. The source codes will be publicly available at https://github.com/summitgao/CAMixer .
