Dung Dual Beetle Contextual Multi-Head Self-Attention Based Urban Land Cover Change Detection Using Satellite Images
摘要
The detection of semantic changes in satellite images over time is known as Urban Land Change Detection (ULCD). The existing techniques for change detection struggled to detect missing changes or minor changes. To address these challenges, this research proposes a novel Dual Contextual Multi Head-Self Attention (DCMH-SA) approach that accurately detects changes in satellite images without missing any small changes with high accuracy and low computational time and cost. This ensures its efficiency in performing change detection tasks. Moreover, the Dung Beetle Optimization Algorithm (DBOA) is introduced to optimize the loss function of the proposed method, thereby enhancing the entire performance of the ULCD. Experimental evaluations demonstrate that the proposed method obtains 99.26% accuracy in the one satellite change detection dataset and 98.04% accuracy in the semantic change detection dataset, thus highlighting the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed framework.
