Description

Dhirendra Prasad Yadav, Bhisham Sharma, Shashank Singh, and Panos Liatsis present a hybrid lightweight transformer for landslide change detection in remote sensing images. Their 2025 paper designs a network to localize and segment landslide areas.

Convolutional networks extract only shallow spatial features and miss long-range dependencies, so landslide edges and boundaries are poorly covered. Their model, CDCTNet, pairs a lightweight convolutional encoder with transformer blocks. Local and global self-attention give context at two scales with little overhead. A decoder with convolution blocks and a gated attention block then produces the segmentation. The aim is accurate maps that stay cheap to run.
