英文摘要: With the rapid development of remote sensing technologies, the frequency of observations of the same location is increasing, and many satellites and sensors produced a large amount of time series images. These images make long-term change detection and dynamic characteristic estimation of ground features possible. However, conventional remote sensing image change detection methods mostly rely on manual visual interpretation and supervised or unsupervised computer-aided classification. Traditional methods always face many bottlenecks when processing big and fast-growing datasets, such as low computational efficiency, low level of automation, and different identification standards and accuracies caused by different operators. With the rapid accumulation of remote sensing data, it has become an important but more challenging task to conduct change detection in a more precise, automated and standardized way. The development of geointelligent computing technologies provides a means of solving these problems and improve the accuracy and efficiency of remote sensing image change detection. In this paper, we presented a novel deep learning model called nest network(NestNet) based on a convolutional neural network to improve the accuracy of the automatic change detection task by using remotely sensed time series images. NestNet extracts the respective features of bi-temporal images using an encoding parallel module and subsequently employs absolute different operations to process the features of two images. Compared with change detection method based on U-Shaped network plus plus (UNet++), the parallel module improves the efficiency of NestNet. Finally, a decoding module is used to generate a predicted change image. This paper compares NestNet to traditional methods and state-of-the-art deep learning models on two datasets. The experimental results demonstrate that the accuracy of NestNet is better than that of state-of-the-art methods. It can be concluded that the NestNet model is a potential approach for change detection using high resolution remote sensing images.
