FootprintNet: State-Transition-Guided Dynamic Footprint Learning for Multi-temporal Remote Sensing Change Detection

- 将变化过程建模为隐状态与动作的交互,通过转移约束学习因果一致轨迹。
- 在三个数据集上实现优于现有方法的检测精度,尤其对多次变化区域更准确。
- 适合关注城市建筑动态演化、需要时间维度变化分析的研究者。
尽管遥感多时相变化检测(MTCD)取得显著进展,但现有方法通常仅用最终观测结果的一个变化类别表征每个空间位置的动态过程,这种单一变化假设限制了对与人类活动密切相关的反复变化区域的刻画能力。为此,本文提出城市建筑动态检测(UBDD),从多时相影像中识别建筑变化的动态足迹(即变化发生的时间区间),并输出像素级分类掩码。对于经历两次或以上变化的区域,引入独立的多变化类别进行统一表示,实现单次与多次变化过程的统一建模。进一步提出FootprintNet,将建筑变化过程抽象为隐状态与动作间的交互,并施加状态-动作转移约束以引导因果一致的变化轨迹学习。同时利用时间变化边界线索增强边界两侧特征对比度,提升不同动态足迹的区分能力,实现动态足迹的精准检测。此外,提出建筑变化动态评分(BCDS),解决传统指标无法反映预测足迹与标签间时间接近度的问题,评估标准涵盖变化语义保持性与时间偏移量。在TSCD、MUDS和WUSU数据集上的大量实验表明,FootprintNet优于当前最先进方法。代码已开源:https://github.com/zmoka-zht/FootprintNet。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Despite substantial progress in remote sensing multi-temporal change detection (MTCD), most existing MTCD methods still represent the dynamic process at each spatial location over the entire observation period using a single change category associated with the final observation. This implicit single-change assumption limits their ability to characterize regions of recurrent change closely related to human activities. To address this limitation, we introduce Urban Building Dynamics Detection (UBDD), which identifies building-change dynamic footprints, i.e., the temporal intervals in which changes occur, from multi-temporal imagery and produces pixel-wise classification masks. For regions undergoing two or more changes, UBDD introduces an independent multi-change class for unified representation, thereby enabling unified modeling of single- and multi-change processes. Furthermore, we propose FootprintNet, which abstracts building-change processes as interactions between latent states and actions, and imposes state-action transition constraints to guide the learning of causally coherent change trajectories. It further exploits temporal change-boundary cues to enhance feature contrast across boundary sides, thereby improving the discrimination among different dynamic footprints and enabling accurate detection of dynamic footprints. Moreover, we introduce the Building Change Dynamics Score (BCDS) to address the inability of conventional metrics to reflect the temporal proximity between predicted footprints and labels. It evaluates predictions according to their preservation of change semantics and temporal offsets from the corresponding labels. Extensive experiments on TSCD, MUDS, and WUSU demonstrate that FootprintNet outperforms current state-of-the-art methods. The code is available at https://github.com/zmoka-zht/FootprintNet.
