Enhancing Binary Change Detection in Hyperspectral Images Using an Efficient Dimensionality Reduction Technique Within Adversarial Learning

Detecting binary changes in co-registered bitemporal hyperspectral images (HSIs) using deep learning methods is challenging due to the high dimensionality of spectral data and significant variations between images. To address this challenge, previous approaches often used dimensionality reduction me...

description Detecting binary changes in co-registered bitemporal hyperspectral images (HSIs) using deep learning methods is challenging due to the high dimensionality of spectral data and significant variations between images. To address this challenge, previous approaches often used dimensionality reduction methods separately from the change detection network, leading to less accurate results. In this study, we propose an end-to-end fully connected adversarial network (EFC-AdvNet) for binary change detection, which efficiently reduces the dimensionality of bitemporal HSIs and simultaneously detects changes between them. This is accomplished by extracting critical spectral features at the pixel level through a self-spectral reconstruction (SSR) module working in conjunction with an adversarial change detection (Adv-CD) module to effectively delineate changes between bitemporal HSIs. The SSR module employs a fully connected autoencoder for hyperspectral dimensionality reduction and spectral feature extraction. By integrating the encoder segment of the SSR module with the change detection network of the Adv-CD module, we create a generator that directly produces highly accurate change maps. This joint learning approach enhances both feature extraction and change detection capabilities. The proposed network is trained using a comprehensive loss function derived from the concurrent learning of the SSR and Adv-CD modules, establishing EFC-AdvNet as a robust end-to-end network for hyperspectral binary change detection. Experimental evaluations of EFC-AdvNet on three public hyperspectral datasets demonstrate that joint learning between the SSR and Adv-CD modules improves the overall accuracy (OA) by 5.44%, 10.43%, and 7.52% for the Farmland, Hermiston, and River datasets, respectively, compared with the separate learning approach.
