Enhanced remote sensing change detection via VMamba and spatial-reducing cross-attention
摘要
Remote sensing image change detection (CD) is crucial for environmental monitoring and urban development. Traditional deep learning methods, such as CNN-based approaches, are limited by their receptive fields, while Transformer-based methods suffer from quadratic computational complexity. We introduce spatial-reducing cross-attention change detection (SCACD), a novel remote sensing image CD method based on VMamba, achieving linear complexity and an expansive receptive field. Our approach employs the visual state space feedforward (VSFF) feature extraction network to capture multi-scale semantic features and utilizes the spatial-reducing cross-attention VSS (SCAV) module for efficient dual-temporal feature interaction. The cascaded convolutional attention (CCA) module further enhances multistage feature fusion. Experimental results on LEVIR-CD, SYSU-CD and WHU-CD datasets demonstrate superior performance, with SCACD outperforming state-of-the-art methods both visually and quantitatively.
