Article history:
Automatic change detection has expected increasing interest for researchers in recent years on high-
spatial resolution remote sensing system where multispectral, multi-resolution and multimodal images
can be acquired. The commonly used techniques for high-resolution change detection rely on feature
extraction. Due to its high dimensional feature space, the conventional feature extraction techniques rep-
resent a progress of issues when handling huge size information e.g., computational cost, processing
capacity and storage load. In order to overcome the existing drawback, we propose a novel Structural
Phase Congruency Histogram (SPCH) descriptor for automatic change detection without reducing the sig-
nificant loss of information. The proposed feature extractor depends upon the structural properties of the
image which is invariant to contrast deviations and illumination. The structural phase congruency with
the histograms is combined to build the edge and corner features. The dimensionality of the feature vec-
tor is reduced using Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) to form SPCH-LDA descriptor which leads to be
more robust for image scale variations. Finally, the accuracy of the change detection is estimated with
Artificial Neural Network (ANN) as compared with the existing algorithms. The experimental results pro-
vided 98.4375% accuracy which confirms the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed technique for
automatic change detection.

Remote Sensing images are generally utilized for viewing the
urban extension and land cover changes at a medium to enable
the advancement of urbanization and propel the practical
improvement process. In remote sensing applications, changes
are considered as surface component alterations with varying
rates. Change detection is one of the main applications of remote
sensing that quantitatively examines the temporal impacts of
registered remote sensing images obtained over the same topo-
graphical location at two diverse time moments (Neagoe et al.,
2014). The general objectives of change detection in remote sens-
ing include identifying the geographical location and type of
changes, quantifying the changes, and assessing the accuracy of
change detection results (Hussain et al., 2013). Change detection
from multi-temporal remotely sensed images is widely used in
many fields, such as land use/land cover change (Amini and
Hesami, 2017), irrigated land change (Hesami and Amini, 2016)
urban growth, forest and vegetation dynamics, and disaster moni-
toring, since many types of changes can be extracted at local, regio-
nal, and global scale (Du et al., 2013; Chen et al., 2012a,b). In
change detection of remote sensing images, the researchers mainly
focussed on change measure, and then they created methods for
classifying changed features (Liu et al., 2012).

Generally, change detection methods can be partitioned into
two classes: supervised and unsupervised. The supervised classifi-
cation needs learning knowledge about the study territory for
training the detection module, for example, Artificial Neural
