Change detection (CD) of any surface using multitemporal remote sensing images is an important research topic since up-to-date information about earth surface is of great value. Abrupt changes are occurring in different earth surfaces due to natural disasters or man-made activities which cause damage to that place. Therefore, it is necessary to observe the changes for taking necessary steps to recover the subsequent damage. This paper is concerned with this issue and analyzes statistical similarity measure to perform CD using remote sensing images of the same scene taken at two different dates. A variation of normalized mutual information (NMI) as a similarity measure has been developed here using sliding window of different sizes. In sliding window approach, pixels’ local neighborhood plays a significant role in computing the similarity compared to the whole image. Thus the insignificant global characteristics containing noise and sparse samples can be avoided when evaluating the probability density function. Therefore, NMI with different window sizes is proposed here to identify changes using multitemporal data. Experiments have been carried out using two separate multitemporal remote sensing images captured one year apart and one month apart, respectively. Experimental analysis reveals that the proposed technique can detect up to 97.71% of changes which outperforms the traditional approaches.

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely used in change detection of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images and have been proven to have better precision than traditional methods. A two-stage patch-based deep learning method with a label updating strategy is proposed in this paper. The initial label and mask are generated at the pre-classification stage. Then a two-stage updating strategy is applied to gradually recover changed areas. At the first stage, diversity of training data is gradually restored. The output of the designed CNN network is further processed to generate a new label and a new mask for the following learning iteration. As the diversity of data is ensured after the first stage, pixels within uncertain areas can be easily classified at the second stage. Experiment results on several representative datasets show the effectiveness of our proposed method compared with several existing competitive methods.
