A novel generic graph-based framework was developed addressing simultaneous registration, segmentation and change detection in multisensor data of different spectral, spatial and temporal resolutions. The quite promising experimental results indicated: (i) for the registration task a mean displacement error of less than 2 pixels, (ii) for the segmentation task in most cases completeness and correctness rates above 77% and (iii) for the change detection around or above 70%. The main errors derived from the important relief displacements around the tallest buildings and from the quite similar reflectance spectra of the different man-made objects including ship/vessels.

The developed framework can take as an input a pair of multisensor images (as the raw unregistered ones below) and perfoms simultaneously a co-registration, co-segmentation and change detection.

Those three problems are adressed concurrently from a single energy formulation (Eq.5), while classification scores are also exploited (Eq.2 & Eq.4) within, based on a deep learning & CNN procedure (classification maps below).
