Mamba, with its advantages of global perception and linear complexity, has been widely applied to identify changes of the target regions within the remote sensing (RS) images captured under complex scenarios and varied conditions. However, existing remote sensing change detection (RSCD) approaches based on Mamba frequently struggle to effectively perceive the inherent locality of change regions as they direct flatten and scan RS images (i.e., the features of the same region of changes are not distributed continuously within the sequence but are mixed with features from other regions throughout the sequence). In this paper, we propose a novel locally adaptive SSM-based approach, termed CD-Lamba, which effectively enhances the locality of change detection while maintaining global perception. Specifically, our CD-Lamba includes a Locally Adaptive State-Space Scan (LASS) strategy for locality enhancement, a Cross-Temporal State-Space Scan (CTSS) strategy for bi-temporal feature fusion, and a Window Shifting and Perception (WSP) mechanism to enhance interactions across segmented windows. These strategies are integrated into a multi-scale Cross-Temporal Locally Adaptive State-Space Scan (CT-LASS) module to effectively highlight changes and refine changes' representations feature generation. CD-Lamba significantly enhances local-global spatio-temporal interactions in bi-temporal images, offering improved performance in RSCD tasks. Extensive experimental results show that CD-Lamba achieves state-of-the-art performance on four benchmark datasets with a satisfactory efficiency-accuracy trade-off.

As a common method in the field of computer vision, spatial attention mechanism has been widely used in semantic segmentation of remote sensing images due to its outstanding long-range dependency modeling capability. However, remote sensing images are usually characterized by complex backgrounds and large intra-class variance that would degrade their analysis performance. While vanilla spatial attention mechanisms are based on dense affine operations, they tend to introduce a large amount of background contextual information and lack of consideration for intrinsic spatial correlation. To deal with such limitations, this paper proposes a novel scene-Coupling semantic mask network, which reconstructs the vanilla attention with scene coupling and local global semantic masks strategies. Specifically, scene coupling module decomposes scene information into global representations and object distributions, which are then embedded in the attention affinity processes. This Strategy effectively utilizes the intrinsic spatial correlation between features so that improve the process of attention modeling. Meanwhile, local global semantic masks module indirectly correlate pixels with the global semantic masks by using the local semantic mask as an intermediate sensory element, which reduces the background contextual interference and mitigates the effect of intra-class variance. By combining the above two strategies, we propose the model SCSM, which not only can efficiently segment various geospatial objects in complex scenarios, but also possesses inter-clean and elegant mathematical representations. Experimental results on four benchmark datasets demonstrate the the effectiveness of the above two strategies for improving the attention modeling of remote sensing images.

Remote sensing pansharpening aims to reconstruct spatial-spectral properties during the fusion of panchromatic (PAN) images and low-resolution multi-spectral (LR-MS) images, finally generating the high-resolution multi-spectral (HR-MS) images. Although deep learning-based models have achieved excellent performance, they often come with high computational complexity, which hinder their applications on resource-limited devices. In this paper, we explore the feasibility of applying the binary neural network (BNN) to pan-sharpening. Nevertheless, there are two main issues with binarizing pan-sharpening models: (i) the binarization will cause serious spectral distortion due to the inconsistent spectral distribution of the PAN/LR-MS images; (ii) the common binary convolution kernel is difficult to adapt to the multi-scale and anisotropic spatial features of remote sensing objects, resulting in serious degradation of contours. To address the above issues, we design the customized spatial-spectral binarized convolution (S2B-Conv), which is composed of the Spectral-Redistribution Mechanism (SRM) and Gabor Spatial Feature Amplifier (GSFA). Specifically, SRM employs an affine transformation, generating its scaling and bias parameters through a dynamic learning process. GSFA, which randomly selects different frequencies and angles within a preset range, enables to better handle multi-scale and-directional spatial features. A series of S2B-Conv form a brand-new binary network for pan-sharpening, dubbed as S2BNet. Extensive quantitative and qualitative experiments have shown our high-efficiency binarized pan-sharpening method can attain a promising performance.
