description Benefiting from continuous innovations in deep learning algorithms, the accuracy of building change detection (BCD) in remote sensing (RS) has significantly improved. Numerous networks combining CNN and transformer architectures have emerged, yet effectively balancing local detail and global context features remains a topic of ongoing discussion. Furthermore, accurately leveraging edge information within RS images to enhance the recognition of structural changes in buildings is another critical challenge. To address these issues, this article proposes a BCD network based on dynamic gate fusion and edge graph perception (DGFEG). First, a hybrid backbone, MCTrans, is employed as the encoder to extract multiscale detailed features and global positional information of buildings. Second, a dynamic gate fusion module is introduced to dynamically weight and fuse the concatenated and differential features obtained by the encoder, enhancing the semantic representation of actual building change regions. Finally, an edge graph perception module integrates edge information with the fused features, leveraging the spatial similarity of graph structures and the interaction of edge features to suppress irrelevant edge interference, thereby improving the model's sensitivity and accuracy in detecting subtle building changes. In experiments, DGFEG was tested on real-world change scenarios and multiple RSCD datasets. The results demonstrate its superior performance compared to existing state-of-the-art methods, proving its excellence and broad application potential in tackling complex BCD tasks.
