Abstract

In this letter, we present a method for unsupervised change detection based on the cross-sharpening of multitemporal images and image segmentation. Our method effectively reduces the change detection errors caused by relief or spatial displacement between multitemporal images with different acquisition angles. A total of four cross-sharpened images, including two general pansharpened images, were generated. Then, two pairs of cross-sharpened images were analyzed using change detection indexes. The effectiveness of the proposed method compared with other unsupervised change detection methods is demonstrated through experimentation.
