Abstract
In the field of remote sens., change detection is an important monitoring technology. However, effectively extracting the change feature is still a challenge, especially with an unsupervised method. To solve this problem, we proposed an unsupervised transformer boundary autoencoder network (UTBANet) in this paper. UTBANet consists of a transformer structure and spectral attention in the encoder part. In addition to reconstructing hyperspectral images, UTBANet also adds a decoder branch for reconstructing edge information. The designed encoder module is used to extract features. First, the transformer structure is used for extracting the global features. Then, spectral attention can find important feature maps and reduce feature redundancy. Furthermore, UTBANet reconstructs the hyperspectral image and boundary information simultaneously through two decoders, which can improve the ability of the encoder to extract edge features. Our experiments demonstrate that the proposed structure significantly improves the performance of change detection. Moreover, comparative experiments show that our method is superior to most existing unsupervised methods.
