A comprehensive review tracks advancements in remote sensing change detection over the past decade, focusing on deep learning, attention mechanisms, and transformer models. The review systematically classifies existing algorithms, benchmarks state-of-the-art performance, and identifies critical future research directions.

Key insights

  • Change detection has transitioned from traditional methods to deep learning, with CNNs improving feature learning and attention/transformer models capturing global relationships and long-range dependencies.
  • Algorithm granularity impacts performance: pixel-based are efficient but noisy, region-based are robust but computationally intensive, and hybrid methods combine strengths.
  • Data scarcity remains a significant challenge, driving the need for unsupervised/semi-supervised learning, few-shot learning, and synthetic data generation using models like diffusion models.
