Transformer Self-Attention Change Detection Network with Frozen Parameters by Peiyang Cheng, Min Xia, Dehao Wang, Haifeng Lin, Zikai Zhao

“…This paper proposes a frozen-parameter Transformer self-attention change detection network (ZAQNet). The network integrates four innovative modules: a GIAU (Generalized Image Attention Unit) which can effectively fuse the features of two remote sensing images and accurately focus on changing areas; a GSAU (Global Spatial Attention Unit) which performs self attention processing in the image spatial dimension to enhance the model’s ability to capture global change information; a GSCU (Global Semantic Context Unit) which performs self-attention operations in the channel dimension to enhance the model’s attention to feature maps containing changing information; and a PRU (Patch Refinement Unit) which extracts and refines spatial position information from the underlying feature map, optimizing the restoration effect of the feature map. …”
