Popis: The conversion of agricultural lands, termed “nonagriculturalization,” poses profound threats to food security and ecological stability. Remote sensing image change detection offers an invaluable tool for monitoring this phenomenon. However, most change detection techniques prioritize image comparison over exploiting accumulated vector datasets. Additionally, many current methods are not readily applicable in practical scenarios due to inadequate model generalization capabilities and a scarcity of samples, resulting in a continued reliance on manual intervention for nonagriculturalization detection. In response, this article introduces a novel change detection approach for nonagriculturalization based on the vector data and contrastive learning. Initially, the boundary-constrained simple noniterative clustering algorithm is applied to segment two-phase images under vector data guidance. Samples are then generated using an adaptive cropping method. For early phase image samples, a collaborative validation-based sample annotation framework is employed to optimize and annotate the samples, with the purified high-quality samples serving as the training set for subsequent classification. For later-phase image samples, only those within the cropland vector polygons are retained for prediction. Building on this, a semi-supervised cross-domain contrastive learning framework is proposed for remote sensing scene classification. Ultimately, by integrating nonagriculturalization rules and postprocessing techniques, areas undergoing nonagriculturalization are further detected. Validating our methodology on Wuxi and Yangzhou datasets yielded precision rates of 91.57% and 89.21%, with recall rates of 93.68% and 90.51%, respectively. These outcomes affirm the effectiveness of our method in nonagriculturalization detection, offering robust technical support for research in this domain.
