arXiv:2605. 15375v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Remote sensing change detection (RSCD) localises changes between two images of the same geographic region.
The paper proposes a weakly supervised remote sensing change detection method that uses change captions as the sole supervision signal, eliminating the need for pixel‑level change masks. It introduces a caption‑driven generation pipeline to create bi‑temporal image pairs with controlled changes and a Semantic‑Appearance Agreement Framework (SAAF) that fuses caption‑grounded semantic responses with RGB differences for accurate change localization. Experiments on the Flair‑RSGen and WHU‑CDC datasets demonstrate that SAAF outperforms existing limited‑supervision baselines in macro‑averaged IoU and F1 metrics.
The paper introduces MaSoN, an end-to-end unsupervised remote sensing change detection framework that synthesises diverse changes directly in latent feature space during training. By generating changes based on feature statistics of the target data, MaSoN produces data‑driven variations that align with the target domain and can be applied to new modalities such as SAR and multispectral imagery. The method achieves a 14.1 percentage point improvement in average F1 score across five benchmarks, demonstrating strong generalisation across diverse change types.
The core challenge of heterogeneous change detection in remote sensing imagery lies in effectively decoupling genuine land-cover changes from significant modal disparities caused by distinct imaging mechanisms. These intrinsic inconsistencies are prone to introducing pseudo-changes, thereby constraining detection accuracy.

HyperFlow is a method for class‑incremental semantic change detection in remote sensing, allowing a model to progressively learn new types of land‑cover changes. It leverages the hierarchical nature of land‑cover semantics by embedding categories in hyperbolic space and uses Busemann prototypes to model change as an anomaly in a learned semantic flow. The authors also introduce HiChange, a large‑scale dataset with fine‑grained hierarchical labels, and show that incremental refinement of categories improves both change detection and segmentation performance.
