The invention discloses a method for detecting
remote sensing image change based on non-parametric density
estimation, which mainly solves the problem that the
estimation to the statistic items which relevant to a
change type and a non-
change type in a differential chart in the prior art has error. The realizing process of the method is that inputting two
remote sensing images with different time-phase, removing
noise of each channel of each image, obtaining
noise-removing images of the two time-phase, and constructing difference images through adopting the change time-
vector method, gathering the difference images into
change type and a non-change type through applying K-means clustering algorism, obtaining the initial sorting results, and estimating the statistic items relevant to the change type and the non-change type in differential images through adopting non-parameter density
estimation, carrying out the self-adapting space restriction combining the
variable weight markov random field model, and obtaining the final change detecting results. The experimentation shows that the invention can effectively keeps the structure information of the images, removes insulation
noise, improves the
change detection processing efficiency, and can be used for the fields of disaster surveillance,
land utilization and
agriculture investigation.
