LDGuid: A Framework for Robust Change Detection via Latent Difference Guidance
Modern deep learning models for change detection (CD) often struggle to explicitly represent task-relevant semantic differences. This paper proposes the Latent Difference Guidance (LDGuid) framework that explicitly learns and injects semantic differences into CD models. LDGuid deploys adversarial autoencoding to implement a difference embedding (DE) module. The DE module is pretrained via the information bottleneck method, restricting it to learn only task-relevant differences between pre- and post-event samples. The learned latent difference is then used as an explicit guidance signal in the CD model. We validate LDGuid by integrating it into U-Net, BIT, and AERNet baselines for CD and evaluating it on LEVIR-CD, WHU-CD, SVCD, and CaBuAr datasets. Experimental results show that LDGuid enhances segmentation performance across all benchmarks, with particularly remarkable gains in challenging settings affected by spectral noise. The results further highlight the ability of LDGuid in incorporating domain knowledge, such as task-specific spectral indices. Our findings suggest that semantic difference learning can drastically enhance the robustness of CD in remote sensing.

Robust fusion algorithms for unsupervised change detection between multi-band optical images - A comprehensive case study
Unsupervised change detection techniques are generally constrained to two multi-band optical images acquired at different times through sensors sharing the same spatial and spectral resolution. This scenario is suitable …

Remote sensing change detection (RSCD) aims to localise changes between two images of the same geographic region. In practice, change masks often follow region-level annotation conventions rather than purely local appear…

Archetypal scenarios for change detection generally consider two images acquired through sensors of the same modality. However, in some specific cases such as emergency situations, the only images available may be those …
