Abstract:
Change detection is a fundamental yet challenging task in remote sensing, crucial for monitoring urban expansion, land use changes, and environmental dynamics. However, compared with common color images, objects in remote sensing images exhibit minimal interclass variation and significant intraclass variation in the spectral dimension, with obvious scale inconsistency in the spatial dimension. Change detection complexity presents significant challenges, including differentiating similar objects, accounting for scale variations, and identifying pseudo changes. This research introduces a dual fine-grained network with a frequency Transformer (named as FTransDF-Net) to address the above issues. Specifically, for small-scale and approximate spectral ground objects, the network employs an encoder-decoder architecture consisting of dual fine-grained gated (DFG) modules. This enables the extraction and fusion of fine-grained level information in dual dimensions of features, facilitating a comprehensive analysis of their differences and correlations. As a result, a dynamic fusion representation of salient information is achieved. Additionally, we develop a lightweight frequency transformer (LFT) with minimal parameters for detecting large-scale ground objects that undergo significant changes over time. This is achieved by incorporating a frequency attention (FA) module, which utilizes Fourier transform to model long-range dependencies and combines global adaptive attentive features with multi-level fine-grained features. Our comparative experiments across four publicly available datasets demonstrate that FTransDF-Net reaches advanced results. Importantly, it outperforms the leading comparison method by 1.23% and 2.46% regarding IoU metrics concerning CDD and DSIFN, respectively. Furthermore, efficacy for each module is substantiated through ablation experiments. The code is accessible on https://github.com/LeeThrzz/FTrans-DF-Net. © 2025 The Author(s)
