Summary: | Change detection methods using hyperspectral remote sensing can precisely identify differences of the same area at different observing times. However, due to massive spectral bands, current change detection methods are vulnerable to unrelatedspectral and spatial information in hyperspectral images with the stagewise calculation of attention maps. Besides, current change methods arrange hidden change features in a random distribution form, which cannot express a class-oriented discrimination in advance. Moreover, existent deep change methods have not fully considered the hierarchical features’ reuse and the fusion of the encoder–decoder framework. To better handle the mentioned existent problems, the parallel spectral–spatial attention network with feature redistribution loss (TFR-PS<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msup><mrow></mrow><mn>2</mn></msup></semantics></math></inline-formula>ANet) is proposed. The contributions of this article are summarized as follows: (1) a parallel spectral–spatial attention module (<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><msup><mi>PS</mi><mn>2</mn></msup><mi mathvariant="normal">A</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>) is introduced to enhance relevant information and suppress irrelevant information in parallel using spectral and spatial attention maps extracted from the original hyperspectral image patches; (2) the feature redistribution loss function (FRL) is introduced to construct the class-oriented feature distribution, which organizes the change features in advance and improves the discriminative abilities; (3) a two-branch encoder–decoder framework is developed to optimize the hierarchical transfer and change features’ fusion; Extensive experiments were carried out on several real datasets. The results show that the proposed <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><msup><mi>PS</mi><mn>2</mn></msup><mi mathvariant="normal">A</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> can enhance significant information effectively and the FRL can optimize the class-oriented feature distribution. The proposed method outperforms most existent change detection methods.
