• Abstract summary: We design the Change Guiding Network (CGNet) to tackle the insufficient expression problem of change features. CGNet generates change maps with rich semantic information to guide multi-scale feature fusion. A self-attention module named Change Guide Module (CGM) can effectively capture the long-distance dependency among pixels.

• Abstract: The rapid advancement of automated artificial intelligence algorithms and remote sensing instruments has benefited change detection (CD) tasks. However, there is still a lot of space to study for precise detection, especially the edge integrity and internal holes phenomenon of change features. In order to solve these problems, we design the Change Guiding Network (CGNet), to tackle the insufficient expression problem of change features in the conventional U-Net structure adopted in previous methods, which causes inaccurate edge detection and internal holes. Change maps from deep features with rich semantic information are generated and used as prior information to guide multi-scale feature fusion, which can improve the expression ability of change features. Meanwhile, we propose a self-attention module named Change Guide Module (CGM), which can effectively capture the long-distance dependency among pixels and effectively overcome the problem of the insufficient receptive field of traditional convolutional neural networks. On four major CD datasets, we verify the usefulness and efficiency of the CGNet, and a large number of experiments and ablation studies demonstrate the effectiveness of CGNet. We're going to open-source our code at https://github.com/ChengxiHAN/CGNet-CD.

  We propose a novel framework for remote sensing image change captioning, guided by Key Change Features and Instruction-tuned (KCFI) KCFI includes a ViTs encoder for extracting bi-temporal remote sensing image features, a key feature perceiver for identifying critical change areas, and a pixel-level change detection decoder. To validate the effectiveness of our approach, we compare it against several state-of-the-art change captioning methods on the LEVIR-CC dataset.
