Modernizing the multi-temporal multispectral remotely sensed image change detection for global maxima through binary particle swarm optimization

Change detection is the amount of changes that can guide to more concrete understandings into essential method concerning land cover, land usage and ecological variations. This paper deals with an intelligent methodology to optimize the solution out of the solution space that improves the efficiency of the change detection process. To support the theme, an integrated semi-supervised method is designed with a focus on image fusion, semi supervised clustering and binary swarm based optimization. A new approach of handling fusion using sparse coding is referred to expand the amount of information. Using the extracted information, change detection process is carried out by a constrained clustering technique to provide a solution reflecting the level of changes occurred in the region of investigation. To improve the accuracy by proposing a global optimum solution, still the result is refined through binary swarm based optimization process and hence the results are accelerated towards the increased level of accuracy followed by which the change map is reconstructed to show case changes prominently. To determine the accurateness of the proposed methodology quantitative and qualitative analysis has been done with different datasets. The proposed method has been evaluated with existing techniques such as k-means, AKM, FCM, ECKM and ASCC to show the efficiency and proved to be the preeminent change detection methodology compared to the state-of-art methods.
