description Heterogeneous change detection is a task of considerable practical importance and significant challenge in remote sensing. Heterogeneous change detection involves identifying change areas using remote sensing images obtained from different sensors or imaging conditions. Recently, research has focused on feature space translation methods based on deep learning technology for heterogeneous images. However, these types of methods often lead to the loss of original image information, and the translated features cannot be efficiently compared, further limiting the accuracy of change detection. For these issues, we propose a cross-modal feature interaction network (CMFINet). Specifically, CMFINet introduces a cross-modal interaction module (CMIM), which facilitates the interaction between heterogeneous features through attention exchange. This approach promotes consistent representation of heterogeneous features while preserving image characteristics. Additionally, we design a differential feature extraction module (DFEM) to enhance the extraction of true change features from spatial and channel dimensions, facilitating efficient comparison after feature interaction. Extensive experiments conducted on the California, Toulouse, and Wuhan datasets demonstrate that CMFINet outperforms eight existing methods in identifying change areas in different scenes from multimodal images. Compared to the existing methods applied to the three datasets, CMFINet achieved the highest F1 scores of 83.93%, 75.65%, and 95.42%, and the highest mIoU values of 85.38%, 78.34%, and 94.87%, respectively. The results demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of CMFINet in heterogeneous change detection.
