Change Detection is a critical problem in Computer Vision with applications in
various domains such as medical detection, satellite imagery, quality control, and
traffic analysis. However, existing change detection models often have many pa-
rameters, making them computationally expensive and challenging to implement
in real-world applications. This study focuses on reducing the parameters set for
the models designed explicitly for Change Detection in Satellite Imagery. These
models typically process large-scale images, which can demand significant mem-
ory resources and take considerable time to compute. As a solution, we implement
three approaches, evaluate and compare their performance on a toy CNN model and
an advanced SNUNet-CD model [9], designed for the Change Detection task. The
highest parameter reduction rate we achieved for SNUNet-CD is 10.4% (1.25 million
parameters) with only a 3.7% model accuracy drop. The experiments demonstrate
that, when utilizing our methods, SNUNet-CD outperforms several SOTA models
in the change detection domain. We succeeded in surpassing UNet++_MSOF [22]
with respect to parameter count, while the original SNUNet-CD with 32 channels
was unable to do so.
