Abstract

Change detection of dual-temporal remote sensing images is widely employed in natural disaster monitoring and land resource planning. Recently, most change detection methods aim at combining the complementary features at different scales to enhance the detection accuracy. However, it is challenging to obtain the complete change regions due to the general differences between semantic concept information and location representation in different feature layers. In this letter, we propose a multi-level attention-based network for change detection of high-resolution optical satellite imagery, namely MLANet. It combines Siamese network in the encoding structure and integrates multi-level attention mechanism (MLAM) in the decoding structure to improve the UNet++. MLANet focuses on strengthening the natural aggregation and spatial matching in multi-layer feature information fusion, and utilizes MLAM to enhance the effective change features and alleviate the impact of interference factors to refine the feature mapping information. Experimental results on two representative change detection datasets demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms most of the state-of-the-art change detection methods.
