202428 citationsOpen accessUniversité Ibn Zohr

In plain language

This review explores the application of deep learning for detecting changes in remote sensing imagery. Remote sensing images offer a valuable method for observing Earth's surface and identifying objects from aerial or satellite perspectives. By combining various heterogeneous data sources, such as multispectral, hyperspectral, radar, and multitemporal imagery, researchers can achieve a more comprehensive understanding of the Earth. This fusion of diverse information significantly improves the accuracy of change detection tasks. The review covers deep learning methods for both homogeneous and heterogeneous scenes, examines publicly available datasets, analyses selected deep learning models, and discusses current challenges, trends, and future developments in the field.

Key takeaways

  • Remote sensing images are essential for observing Earth's surface and identifying objects.
  • Fusing diverse remote sensing data sources significantly improves change detection capabilities.
  • Deep learning is increasingly applied to change detection in both homogeneous and heterogeneous remote sensing scenes.
  • The review examines public datasets, deep learning models, challenges, and future trends in this field.

Why it matters

Understanding changes on Earth's surface is crucial for numerous applications, including environmental monitoring, disaster response, and urban planning. This research review helps advance the methods for automatically detecting these changes using satellite and aerial imagery, making the process more efficient and accurate for various stakeholders.

Abstract

Remote sensing images provide a valuable way to observe the Earth’s surface and identify objects from a satellite or airborne perspective. Researchers can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the Earth’s surface by using a variety of heterogeneous data sources, including multispectral, hyperspectral, radar, and multitemporal imagery. This abundance of different information over a specified area offers an opportunity to significantly improve change detection tasks by merging or fusing these sources. This review explores the application of deep learning for change detection in remote sensing imagery, encompassing both homogeneous and heterogeneous scenes. It delves into publicly available datasets specifically designed for this task, analyzes selected deep learning models employed for change detection, and explores current challenges and trends in the field, concluding with a look towards potential future developments.
