Abstract

In recent years, identifying changes in multitemporal images in terms of land use and land cover is significant in a variety of applications including urban planning. CNN architectures are one of the most extensively utilised methods for change detection. The aim of this research is to investigate two types of skip connections that may be incorporated into CNN architecture to determine if they can improve the effectiveness of change detection during the CNN learning process. In this paper, we adopt the U-Net architecture to train the change detection model. We also modify the U-Net skip connection's path to include the dense skip connection and compare the modified U-Net with the original U-Net, which uses the plain skip connection. We also test the trained model with our collected local dataset in Cyberjaya to see how well it can anticipate changes in our location. The results of this study show that a U-Net with dense skip connections produces the best results and optimises change detection. It will help researchers understand how important the skip connection is to the model's performance.
