Weakly supervised deep learning method for building change detection
Weak labels have received great attention in deep learning-based remote sensing applications. In this talk, I will go through my previous work in the application of weak labels to deep learning-based building change detection. This talk will cover two research work with image-level and crowd-sourced labels. The first one is about building change detection using crowd-sourced labels. This study proposed a full-level fused cross-task transfer learning method and a noise-robust building extraction approach. A total of 30 scenes of ZY-3 images covering 27 major cities and corresponding crowdsourced building labels from Gaode Map were used to validate the performance of the proposed method. The second research is about built-up area change detection using image-level labels (i.e., each image is assigned to a category). This research proposed a multi-scale class activation map (CAM) extracted from image-level images and an adaptive online noise correction strategy to improve the quality of pseudo labels extracted from CAM. A total of 61 ZY-3 images covering 48 Chinese cities were used as experimental data.
