to enhance the change representation in multispectral images with limited bands, where additional bands were generated from both spectral and spatial viewpoints (Liu et al. 2019b).

      For OBCD methods, four main categories exist: image-object, class-object, multitemporal-object and hybrid CD (Chen et al. 2012; Hussain et al. 2013). An object-based CD approach was designed in (Liu and Du 2010), which analyzes different spectral and texture features extracted during the segmentation process from two independent time images. A superpixel segmentation was applied to stacked bitemporal images, and several derived features were used to describe changes in the difference image according to the supervised classification (Wu et al. 2012). An objected-based method was designed to create objects in each single-time image according to segmentation and then generated different representative features (Wang et al. 2018). A weighted Dempster–Shafer theory (wDST) fusion OBCD method was proposed by combining multiple PBCD results, which can automatically calculate and assign a certainty weight for each object of the PBCD result while considering the stability of an object (Han et al. 2020). However, the selection of the optimal segmentation scale is still an open issue and was mainly implemented based on the empirical analysis in OBCD methods (Kaszta et al. 2016). Moreover, most of the above existing work focused on solving a binary CD problem, and very few were designed for dealing with the more challenging unsupervised multiclass CD case (Liu et al. 2019b).

      Accordingly, the following problems should be further analyzed: (1) how spatial neighboring pixels have an impact on unsupervised change representation and detection; (2) how to effectively model structural and geometric information of change targets to enhance change representation; (3) how to integrate multiscale and multidimensional change descriptions to increase change separability; (4) how to adaptively find a suitable segmentation scale in the unsupervised OBCD approach. In this chapter, we investigate these issues and develop new spectral–spatial CD approaches in multitemporal multispectral images.

      1.3.1. Sequential spectral change vector analysis (S2CVA)

      Here, we first recall a popular state-of-the-art unsupervised multiclass CD method, S2CVA. The two proposed approaches are designed based on it. However, it is important to note that the S2CVA that is pixel-wise only relies on the analysis of spectral information. Originally, from the standard C2VA (Bovolo et al. 2012), S2CVA was specially proposed for multiclass CD in bitemporal hyperspectral images according to a hierarchical analysis. It allows the visualization and detection of multiple changes by considering all spectral channels, without neglecting any band. A compressed 2D polar domain is built based on the construction of two change variables (Liu et al. 2015), i.e. magnitude ρ and direction θ. More particularly, the magnitude ρ is the Euclidean compression of SCVs. It measures the spectral brightness of changes. The direction θ is built based on the spectral angle distance (SAD) (Keshava 2004), which points out different changes with respect to the variances in spectral response for a given pixel. However, note that the “from–to” class transition information is not explained due to the unsupervised nature of S2CVA. More specifically, the change variables ρ and θ are defined as:

      where

is the b-th (b=1,...,B) component of the differencing (SCVs) image XD, which was calculated on the co-registered images X1 and X2, and B is the number of image bands (i.e. the dimensionality of SCVs). rb is the b-th component of an adaptive reference vector r. In the standard C2VA, r is defined as a unit constant vector
(Bovolo et al. 2012). In S2CVA, it is improved as the first eigenvector of the covariance matrix A of XD (Liu et al. 2015):

      [1.3]

      where

[XD] is the expectation of XD. The eigen-decomposition of A can be represented as:

      [1.4]

      Then a 2D compressed polar domain D is defined based on ρ and θ:
