There are 137 reservoirs, which are widely used for irrigation, flood control, water supply and power generation. However, there has been a lack of systematic and full-coverage remote sensing monitoring of reservoir dams for a long time. According to the latest public literature, high-resolution unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) remote sensing has not been used to detect changes on the reservoir dams of Guilin. In this paper, an intelligent segmentation change detection method is proposed to complete the detection of dam change based on multitemporal high-resolution UAV remote sensing data. Firstly, an enhanced GrabCut that fuses the linear spectral clustering (LSC) superpixel mapping matrix and the Sobel edge operator is proposed to extract the features of reservoir dams. The edge operator is introduced into GrabCut to redefine the new energy function\u2019s smooth item, which makes the segmentation results of enhanced GrabCut more robust and accurate. Then, through image registration, the multitemporal dam extraction results are unified to the same coordinate system to complete the difference operation, and finally the dam change results are obtained. The experimental results of two representative reservoir dams in Guilin show that the proposed method can achieve a very high accuracy of change detection, which is an important reference for related research.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15235526","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,27]],"date-time":"2023-11-27T11:54:48Z","timestamp":1701086088000},"page":"5526","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Intelligent Segmentation and Change Detection of Dams Based on UAV Remote Sensing Images"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Haimeng","family":"Zhao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangxi Colleges and Universities Key Laboratory of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Remote Sensing, Guilin University of Aerospace Technology, Guilin 541004, China"},{"name":"Guilin Lijiang Station, Guangxi Ecological and Environmental Monitoring Center, Nanning 530028, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaojian","family":"Yin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangxi Colleges and Universities Key Laboratory of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Remote Sensing, Guilin University of Aerospace Technology, Guilin 541004, China"},{"name":"School of Electronic and Information Engineering, Guangxi Normal University, Guilin 541006, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anran","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangxi Colleges and Universities Key Laboratory of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Remote Sensing, Guilin University of Aerospace Technology, Guilin 541004, China"},{"name":"Information Engineering College, Capital Normal University, Beijing 100048, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Huimin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangxi Colleges and Universities Key Laboratory of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Remote Sensing, Guilin University of Aerospace Technology, Guilin 541004, China"},{"name":"Information Engineering College, Capital Normal University, Beijing 100048, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Danqing","family":"Pan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangxi Colleges and Universities Key Laboratory of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Remote Sensing, Guilin University of Aerospace Technology, Guilin 541004, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jinjin","family":"Pan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangxi Colleges and Universities Key Laboratory of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Remote Sensing, Guilin University of Aerospace Technology, Guilin 541004, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jianfang","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangxi Colleges and Universities Key Laboratory of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Remote Sensing, Guilin University of Aerospace Technology, Guilin 541004, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mingchun","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangxi Colleges and Universities Key Laboratory of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Remote Sensing, Guilin University of Aerospace Technology, Guilin 541004, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shanlin","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangxi Colleges and Universities Key Laboratory of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Remote Sensing, Guilin University of Aerospace Technology, Guilin 541004, China"},{"name":"School of Electronic and Information Engineering, Guangxi Normal University, Guilin 541006, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9450-2030","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qiang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geographic and Environmental Science, Tianjin Normal University, Tianjin 300387, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Wei, G.
