However, existing building change detection models are unable to extract multi-scale building features effectively or fully utilize the local and global information of the feature maps, such as building edges. These defections affect the detection accuracy and may restrict further applications of the models. In this paper, we propose the feature-enhanced residual attention network (FERA-Net) to improve the performance of the ultrahigh-resolution remote sensing image change detection task. The FERA-Net is an end-to-end network with a U-shaped encoder\u2013decoder structure. The Siamese network is used as the encoder with an attention-guided high-frequency feature extraction module (AGFM) extracting building features and enriching detail information, and the decoder applies a feature-enhanced skip connection module (FESCM) to aggregate the enhanced multi-level differential feature maps and gradually recover the change feature maps in this structure. The FERA-Net can generate predicted building change maps by the joint supervision of building change information and building edge information. The performance of the proposed model is tested on the WHU-CD dataset and the LEVIR-CD dataset. The experimental results show that our model outperforms the state-of-the-art models, with 93.51% precision and a 92.48% F1 score on the WHU-CD dataset, and 91.57% precision and an 89.58% F1 score on the LEVIR-CD dataset.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15020395","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,9]],"date-time":"2023-01-09T04:47:08Z","timestamp":1673239628000},"page":"395","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["FERA-Net: A Building Change Detection Method for High-Resolution Remote Sensing Imagery Based on Residual Attention and High-Frequency Features"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Xuwei","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geography and Information Engineering, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China"},{"name":"National Engineering Research Center of Geographic Information System, Wuhan 430074, China"}]},{"given":"Yuan","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Information Engineering in Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China"}]},{"given":"Xiechun","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Geological Survey and Evaluation of Ministry of Education, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6373-3162","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhanlong","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geography and Information Engineering, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China"},{"name":"National Engineering Research Center of Geographic Information System, Wuhan 430074, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Information Engineering in Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China"},{"name":"School of Computer Science, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"63","DOI":"10.1016\/j.isprsjprs.2021.12.005","article-title":"Land-Use\/Land-Cover Change Detection Based on a Siamese Global Learning Framework for High Spatial Resolution Remote Sensing Imagery","volume":"184","author":"Zhu","year":"2022","journal-title":"ISPRS J.
