Spectral‐spatial sequence characteristics‐based convolutional transformer for hyperspectral change detection

Abstract

Recently, ground coverings change detection (CD) driven by bitemporal hyperspectral images (HSIs) has become a hot topic in the remote sensing community. There are two challenges in the HSI‐CD task: (1) attribute feature representation of pixel pairs and (2) feature extraction of attribute patterns of pixel pairs. To solve the above problems, a novel spectral‐spatial sequence characteristics‐based convolutional transformer (S3C‐CT) method is proposed for the HSI‐CD task. In the designed method, firstly, an eigenvalue extrema‐based band selection strategy is introduced to pick up spectral information with salient attribute patterns. Then, a 3D tensor with spectral‐spatial sequence characteristics is proposed to represent the attribute features of pixel pairs in the bitemporal HSIs. Next, a fusion framework of the convolutional neural network (CNN) and Transformer encoder (TE) is designed to extract high‐order sequence semantic features, taking into account both local context information and global sequence dependencies. Specifically, a spatial‐spectral attention mechanism is employed to prevent information reduction and enhance dimensional interactivity between the CNN and TE. Finally, the binary change map is determined according to the fully‐connected layer. Experimental results on real HSI datasets indicated that the proposed S3C‐CT method outperforms other well‐known and state‐of‐the‐art detection approaches in terms of detection performance.

Spatial Differentiation and Influencing Factors of Tertiary Industry in the Pearl River Delta Urban Agglomeration

“…This study uses POI data to investigate the spatial differentiation of tertiary industry in the PRD urban agglomeration, and uses the increment of POI data from 2012 to 2022 to explore the influence of policies on the layout of tertiary industry [37]. [38][39][40], consisting of nine land cover types, including impervious, cropland, forest, water, shrub, etc., which make it suitable for extracting urban built-up areas. In this study, the CLCD data are used to extract the built-up area of the PRD urban agglomeration and calculate its size.…”

Study on Wind-Induced Dynamic Response and Statistical Parameters of Skeleton Supported Saddle Membrane Structure in Arching and Vertical Direction

“…At the same time, few research papers have applied statistical knowledge to point out the differences between the two research methods. The results of the study can be used to train machine learning [42][43][44][45] and artificial intelligence algorithms [46][47][48], and these effective algorithms in turn contribute to the optimization and design of membrane structures. The saddle is one of the most common forms of modern membrane structures, but it has a special shape.…”

Experimental Study on Small-Scale Shake Table Testing of Cable-Stiffened Single-Layer Spherical Latticed Shell

“…Therefore, scholars have extensively studied the effects of environmental factors such as temperature, wind loads, geological conditions, and humidity on the durability and safety of structures during their long-term service live, with a focus on their influence on the dynamic characteristics of structures [15][16][17]. Building upon this foundation, relevant health monitoring technologies and algorithms have also provided practical support for the health monitoring and maintenance of latticed shell structures [18,19].…”
