Abstract
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery change detection (CD) is still a crucial and challenging task. Recently, with the boom of deep learning technologies, many deep learning methods have been presented for SAR CD, and they achieve superior performance to traditional methods. However, most of the available convolutional neural networks (CNN) approaches use diminutive and single convolution kernel, which has a small receptive field and cannot make full use of the context information and some useful detail information of SAR images. In order to address the above drawback, pyramidal convolutional block attention network (PCBA-Net) is proposed for SAR image CD in this study. The proposed PCBA-Net consists of pyramidal convolution (PyConv) and convolutional block attention module (CBAM). PyConv can not only extend the receptive field of input to capture enough context information, but also handles input with incremental kernel sizes in parallel to obtain multi-scale detailed information. Additionally, CBAM is introduced in the PCBA-Net to emphasize crucial information. To verify the performance of our proposed method, six actual SAR datasets are used in the experiments. The results of six real SAR datasets reveal that the performance of our approach outperforms several state-of-the-art methods.
