Abstract

The existing change detection methods are difficult to balance local features and global features, and the boundary between change objects and backgrounds is blurred, this paper proposed a remote sensing image building change detection method based on local-global feature coupling and boundary guidance. In the encoding stage, the method adopted parallel convolutional neural network and Transformer to extract the local features and global representation of remote sensing images, respectively. At different scales, the local-global feature coupling module fused local features and global feature representation to enhance the expression ability of image features. In addition, it introduced the boundary guidance branch to obtain the prior boundary information of the change objects, so that its guide change map can highlight the structural characteristics of the building and promote the accurate boundary location. This paper conducted experiments on the LEVIR-CD and WHU datasets, resulting in F1-score of 91.25% and 91.27%, and IoU of 83.90% and 83.95%, respectively. The experimental results show that the method has a great improvement in the detection accuracy and good generalization ability.
