ACTU for Change Detection

This is ACTU for change detection of thresholded absolute MNDWI difference.

Model Details

This architecture is a temporal UNet (with ConvLSTMs), featuring an LSTM branch to process climate timeseries and a gating mechanism. It is designed to receive a timeseries of Sentinel-2 images, DEM, and timeseries of climate variables and output a binary mask.

  • Developed by: Daniele Rege Cambrin
  • Model type: ACTU
  • License: OpenRAIL
  • Repository: Github
  • Paper: Arxiv

How to Get Started with the Model

The model is integrated into Transformers, so you can easily load it with the following code:

AutoModel.from_pretrained("DarthReca/actu-change-detection", trust_remote_code=True, revision=<model_type>)

Load the model with the desired configuration with the revision parameter (the branches of this repo). These configurations are available:

Revision Backbone DEM Climate
main ConvNeXtV2 Base No No
dem-climate ConvNeXtV2 Base Yes Yes

Training Details

The model is pre-trained on Landsat-5 images and fine-tuned on Sentinel-2 of HydroChronos.
