Dual Attention-Based Global-Local Feature Extraction Network for Unsupervised Change Detection in PolSAR Images by Dazhi Xu, Ming Li, Yan Wu, Peng Zhang, Xinyue Xin

“…Specifically, the feature constraint loss function is constructed to eliminate feature redundancy and fully exploit the complementarity between features, while the focal loss function is introduced to balance the impact of the inequality between changed and unchanged samples on the network. Numerical experiments on five real spaceborne PolSAR datasets demonstrate that our DA-GLN is more competitive than other state-of-the-art methods.…”
