Abstract

The change detection in remote sensing results in errors due to the camera's optical factors, seasonal factors, and land cover characteristics. The inclination of the building in the image was simulated according to the camera angle using the Cycle Generative Adversarial Network method, and the simulated image was used to contribute to the improvement of change detection accuracy. Based on CycleGAN, the inclination of the building was similarly simulated to the building in the other image based on the image of one of the two periods, and the error of the original image and the inclination of the building was compared and analyzed. The experimental data were taken at different times at different angles, and Kompsat-3A high-resolution satellite images including urban areas with dense buildings were used. As a result of the experiment, the number of incorrect detection pixels per building in the two images for the building area in the image was shown to be reduced by approximately 7 times from 12,632 in the original image and 1,730 in the CycleGAN-based simulation image. Therefore, it was confirmed that the proposed method can reduce detection errors due to the inclination of the building.

원격탐사 영상의 변화탐지는 카메라의 광학적 요인, 계절적 요인, 토지피복 특성에 의해 오류가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 CycleGAN (Cycle Generative Adversarial Network) 방법을 사용하여 촬영 각도에 따른 영상 내 건물 기울기를 모의 조정하였고, 이렇게 모의한 영상을 변화탐지에 활용하여 탐지 정확도 향상에 기여하도록 하였다. CycleGAN 기반으로 두 개 시기 영상 중 한 시기 영상을 기준으로 건물의 기울기를 다른 한 영상 내 건물에 유사하게 모의하였고 원 영상과 건물 기울기에 대한 오류를 비교 분석하였다. 실험자료로는 서로 다른 시기에 다른 각도로 촬영되었고, 건물이 밀집한 도시지역을 포함한 Kompsat-3A 고해상도 위성영상을 사용하였다. 실험 결과, 영상 내 건물 영역에 대하여 두 영상의 건물에 의한 오탐지 화소 수가 원 영상에서는 12,632개, CycleGAN 기반 모의 영상에서는 1,730개로 약 7배 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 제안 방법이 건물 기울기로 인한 탐지오류를 감소시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.
