High-Resolution Remote Sensing Image Change Detection Based on Fourier Feature Interaction and Multiscale Perception

As a significant means of Earth observation, change detection in high-resolution remote sensing images has received extensive attention. Nevertheless, the variability in imaging conditions introduces style discrepancies and a range of pseudochange regions between bitemporal image pairs. Furthermore, changing objects possess diverse morphological representations, which makes accurately identifying change areas and delineating their boundaries within complex object distributions increasingly difficult. In response to the aforementioned challenges, we propose the Fourier feature interaction and multiscale perception (FIMP) model for effective change detection. To mitigate the impact of style discrepancies, FIMP employs the Fourier transform to adaptively filter bitemporal features in the frequency domain while mining the optimized bitemporal features relevant to the change detection task. To enhance the ability to recognize multiscale changing objects, FIMP aggregates and emphasizes the change areas with the introduced temporal change enhancement module (TCEM). By utilizing the U-fusion change perception module (UCPM) to perform multilevel bidirectional fusion of change features at different scales, FIMP can further enhance the ability to delineate complex semantic change boundaries. Experiments on three public datasets show that our approach outperforms seven state-of-the-art methods. © 1980-2012 IEEE.
