Change detection using high spatial resolution remotely sensed imagery by combining evidence theory and structural similarity[J]. Journal of Remote Sensing, 2010, 14(3): 558-570. DOI: 10.11834/jrs.20100313.
This paper presents an evidence theory based change detection method capable of utilizing multiple image features. With a moving window
we first get the structural similarities of both time phase image visual features and construct the basic probability assignment function (BPAF) of D-S evidence theory. We then fuse all the evidence and get the changed image areas with decision rules. Comparative work on different experimental areas
combinations of change evidence and with other meth- ods has been carried out. It shows that our method prevents effectively the detection errors from only utilizing single feature and thus improves the detection precision. Furthermore
since the image similarity is derived from image statistical features rather than original grey
texture and gradient features
this method is robust to low calibration precision.
