Enhancing Binary Change Detection in Hyperspectral Images Using an Efficient Dimensionality Reduction Technique Within Adversarial Learning by Amel Oubara, Falin Wu, Guoxin Qu, Reza Maleki, Gongliu Yang

“…To address this challenge, previous approaches often used dimensionality reduction methods separately from the change detection network, leading to less accurate results. In this study, we propose an end-to-end fully connected adversarial network (EFC-AdvNet) for binary change detection, which efficiently reduces the dimensionality of bitemporal HSIs and simultaneously detects changes between them. …”
