MsFNet: Multi-Scale Fusion Network Based on Dynamic Spectral Features for Multi-Temporal Hyperspectral Image Change Detection

With the development of satellite technology, the importance of multi-temporal remote sensing (RS) image change detection (CD) in urban planning, environmental monitoring, and other fields is increasingly prominent. Deep learning techniques enable a profound exploration of the intrinsic features within hyperspectral (HS) data, leading to substantial enhancements in CD accuracy while addressing several challenges posed by traditional methodologies. However, existing convolutional neural network (CNN)-based CD approaches frequently encounter issues during the feature extraction process, such as the loss of detailed information due to downsampling, which hampers a model's ability to accurately capture complex spectral features. Additionally, these methods often neglect the integration of multi-scale information, resulting in suboptimal local feature extraction and, consequently, diminished model performance. To address these limitations, we propose a multi-scale fusion network (MsFNet) which leverages dynamic spectral features for effective multi-temporal HS-CD. Our approach incorporates a dynamic convolution module with spectral attention, which adaptively modulates the receptive field size according to the spectral characteristics of different bands. This flexibility enhances the model's capacity to focus on critical bands, thereby improving its ability to identify and differentiate changes across spectral dimensions. Furthermore, we develop a multi-scale feature fusion module which extracts and integrates features from deep feature maps, enriching local information and augmenting the model's sensitivity to local variations. Experimental evaluations conducted on three real-world HS-CD datasets demonstrate that the proposed MsFNet significantly outperforms contemporary advanced CD methods in terms of both efficacy and performance.
