Satellite Image Time Series Semantic Change Detection: Novel Architecture and Analysis of Domain Shift Elliot Vincent  Jean Ponce  Mathieu Aubry

Official PyTorch implementation of Satellite Image Time Series Semantic Change Detection: Novel Architecture and Analysis of Domain Shift. Check out our webpage for other details!

We tackle the satellite image time series semantic change detection (SITS-SCD) task with our multi-temporal version of the UTAE [3]. Our model is able to leverage long range temporal information and provides significant performance boost for this task compared to single- or bi-temporal SCD methods. We evaluate on DynamicEarthNet [1] and MUDS [2] datasets that exhibit global and multi-year coverage using the SCD metrics defined in [1].

Installation :gear:

1. Clone the repository in recursive mode

git clone git@github.com:ElliotVincent/SitsSCD.git --recursive

2. Download the datasets

We use processed versions of the SITS-SCD datasets DynamicEarthNet [1] and MUDS [2]. Our pre-processing consists in image compression for memory efficiency. You can download the datasets using the code below or by following these links for DynamicEarthNet (7.09G) and MUDS (245M).

cd SitsSCD
mkdir datasets
cd datasets
gdown 1RySuzHgQDSgHSw2cbriceY5gMqTsCs8I
unzip Muds.zip
gdown 1cMP57SPQWYKMy8X60iK217C28RFBkd2z
unzip DynamicEarthNet.zip

3. Create and activate virtual environment

conda create -n sitsscd pytorch=2.0.1 torchvision=0.15.2 torchaudio pytorch-cuda=11.7 -c pytorch -c nvidia -y
conda activate sitsscd
pip install -r requirements.txt

This implementation uses PyTorch, PyTorch Lightning and Hydra.

How to use :rocket:

For both datasets, there are two validation and two test loaders, to account for the presence or not of spatial domain shift.

python train.py dataset=<dynamicearthnet or muds> mode=<train or eval>
