Abstract
In this study, we propose a novel remote sensing change detection task,
non-registration change detection, to address the increasing number of
emergencies such as natural disasters, anthropogenic accidents, and military
strikes. First, in light of the limited discourse on the issue of
non-registration change detection, we systematically propose eight scenarios
that could arise in the real world and potentially contribute to the occurrence
of non-registration problems. Second, we develop distinct image transformation
schemes tailored to various scenarios to convert the available registration
change detection dataset into a non-registration version. Finally, we
demonstrate that non-registration change detection can cause catastrophic
damage to the state-of-the-art methods. Our code and dataset are available at
https://github.com/ShanZard/NRCD.
