Difference Enhancement and Interscale Interactive Fusion Mamba for Remote Sensing Image Change Detection

Recently, Mamba has made significant strides in sequence modeling, with its global receptive field, dynamic weighting strategy and linear growth in computational complexity. In remote sensing (RS) change detection (CD), several studies have demonstrated that Mambas leverage a unique scanning mechanism to traverse images from various directions, showcasing excellent long-range modeling capabilities. However, as the network depth increases, Mamba often struggle to retain shallow textures and local features effectively. In particular, modern RS images frequently capture complex surface scenes, including seasonal climate variations and densely built environments, making local contextual details crucial for effective CD. Therefore, a difference enhancement and inter-scale interactive fusion Mamba (DEIF-Mamba) is proposed to alleviate the issue. This entire network framework integrates CNN and Mamba, utilizing CNN to capture local feature information, while Mamba employs a cross-scanning mechanism to integrate global information. To address the interference caused by mixed texture features and the missed detection of subtle changes in complex scenes, a differential feature enhancement module (DFEM) is proposed to enrich local contextual details and improve feature representation. In addition, we propose an inter-scale interactive fusion (ISIF) strategy to fully utilize the cross-scale interactive information and minimize information redundancy. Extensive experiments on four CD datasets demonstrate that the proposed DEIF-Mamba achieves an average F1 of 85.87%, and shows superior performance compared with other state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods.
