ReA-OVCD: Training-Free Open-Vocabulary Change Detection via Semantic-Spatial Reliability Assessment

- 从像素级语义差异出发,通过双重可靠性评估筛选可信变化区域。
- 在多个数据集上实现最高3.54%~8.45%的F1提升,计算效率高。
- 适合需要灵活、可靠变化检测的遥感应用,如城市扩张监测。
传统遥感变化检测依赖预定义类别,而开放词汇变化检测(OVCD)可利用任意文本提示灵活识别地表变化。现有方法多依赖实例级匹配以保证对应稳定,但可能忽略细粒度变化(如部分建筑扩建)。像素级密集比较更灵活,但直接语义对比常因语义模糊和空间不一致导致不可靠候选。为此,本文提出ReA-OVCD,一种高效无训练框架,从可靠性评估视角重新审视像素级OVCD。首先通过像素级语义差异生成候选变化区域以保持灵活定位;不直接信任这些候选,而是实施两阶段语义-空间可靠性评估:语义阶段判断标签差异是否由有意义的分布与响应变化支持;空间阶段验证候选区域是否包含稳定的内部证据而非仅边界诱导响应。在LEVIR-CD、WHU-CD、DSIFN和SECOND上的实验表明,该框架显著提升了像素级OVCD的可靠性,持续优于当前最先进方法,在$\mathrm{F}_{1}^{C}$上提升3.54%至8.45%,同时保持优异计算效率。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Unlike traditional remote sensing change detection that relies on predefined categories, Open-Vocabulary Change Detection (OVCD) identifies land cover changes flexibly using arbitrary text prompts. However, most existing OVCD methods rely on instance-level matching for stable correspondence but may overlook fine-grained variations (e.g., partial building extensions). Dense pixel-level comparison is more flexible, yet direct semantic comparison often produces unreliable candidate changes due to semantic ambiguity and spatial inconsistency. To this end, we propose ReA-OVCD, an efficient training-free framework that revisits pixel-level OVCD from a reliability assessment perspective. It first derives candidate change regions from pixel-wise semantic discrepancies to retain flexible localization. Instead of directly trusting these candidates, ReA-OVCD applies a two-stage semantic-spatial reliability assessment. The semantic stage evaluates whether a label discrepancy is supported by meaningful distributional and response-level changes, while the spatial stage validates whether a candidate region contains stable interior evidence rather than only boundary-induced responses. Extensive experiments across LEVIR-CD, WHU-CD, DSIFN, and SECOND show that the proposed framework improves the reliability of pixel-level OVCD and consistently outperforms state-of-the-art approaches, achieving $\mathrm{F}_{1}^{C}$ improvements of 3.54\% to 8.45\% while maintaining superior computational efficiency.
