ES2Net: An Efficient Spectral-Spatial Network for Hyperspectral Image Change Detection
share
Hyperspectral image change detection (HSI-CD) aims to identify the differences in bitemporal HSIs. To mitigate spectral redundancy and improve the discriminativeness of changing features, some methods introduced band selection technology to select bands conducive for CD. However, these methods are limited by the inability to end-to-end training with the deep learning-based feature extractor and lack considering the complex nonlinear relationship among bands. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end efficient spectral-spatial change detection network (ES2Net) to address these issues. Specifically, we devised a learnable band selection module to automatically select bands conducive to CD. It can be jointly optimized with a feature extraction network and capture the complex nonlinear relationships among bands. Moreover, considering the large spatial feature distribution differences among different bands, we design the cluster-wise spatial attention mechanism that assigns a spatial attention factor to each individual band to individually improve the feature discriminativeness for each band. Experiments on three widely used HSI-CD datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of this method compared with other state-of-the-art methods.
