Computational Intelligence for Remote Sensing Image Change Detection
Springer Nature
Nowadays, remote sensing systems and technologies have been widely studied and applied in environmental monitoring, land survey, and disaster management. As a pivotal remote sensing task, change detection aims to identify and quantify spatio-temporal changes using multi-temporal imagery, supporting timely decision-making and sustainable resource planning. Nevertheless, conventional change detection approaches remain limited in addressing challenges including sensitivity to noise, discrepancies in spatial resolution, sensor misalignment, and the fusion of multi-source heterogeneous data. To address these issues, advanced computational intelligence (CI) techniques, particularly deep learning and evolutionary computation, are being increasingly adopted, offering improved robustness and adaptability for modern change detection tasks. This book establishes the first systematic framework of CI-driven methodologies in remote sensing change detection, providing a comprehensive exposition spanning theoretical foundations, algorithmic innovation, and empirical validation. Opening with the research principles of remote sensing change detection and core CI theories, it covers CI-driven…
