New FDC data pruning method boosts remote sensing change detection

Researchers have introduced a new data pruning method called Fidelity-Diversity-Consistency (FDC) specifically for remote sensing change detection tasks. Previous data pruning techniques, which aim to reduce training data size while improving model performance, have shown little to no advantage over random selection in this domain. Through extensive analysis, the study identified that 'change distribution fidelity' is the most critical factor for effective data subsets, a property not addressed by existing pruning methods. FDC, a two-stage approach incorporating this and other factors like image diversity and label-feature consistency, demonstrates consistent improvements across various benchmarks and model architectures.

    Fidelity-Diversity-Consistency (FDC): Data Pruning for Remote Sensing Change Detection

    arXiv:2608.21754v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite the success of data pruning (DP) in reducing training data sizes and improving downstream model performance in classification and segmentation tasks, its potential in remote sensing change detection remains unexplored. For t…
