摘要
Remote sensing change detection usually relies on large collections of temporally aligned, pixel-level annotations, which limits its scalability across regions, imaging platforms and application domains. Recent zero-shot approaches reduce the need for supervision, but they often localize fine-grained changes poorly because their features are coarse or inconsistent across time. We present SpotDiff, a training-free, plug-and-play framework for zero-shot change detection built by composing complementary vision foundation models. SpotDiff uses DINOv3 for semantically robust features, AnyUp to reconstruct them at pixel resolution, and SAM 3 for text-guided region-of-interest proposals, which an inference-time multi-scale strategy (SWIMS) makes reliable on small objects. Change is then measured by comparing the reconstructed features of the two dates inside the proposed regions, with no learnable components, fine-tuning or change labels. To our knowledge, SpotDiff is the first change detection method to use a universal feature upsampler, which alone adds 13.8 F1 over bilinear upsampling of the same features. On LEVIR-CD, SpotDiff reaches 82.46 F1, 2.06 points above the strongest prior training-free method, and on the multi-class SECOND benchmark it improves building change detection by 10.3 IoU and the six-class average by 2.2 IoU. Qualitative results on PlanetScope (3 m) and Sentinel-2 (10 m) imagery show that the same pipeline transfers across resolutions without modification. Our results indicate that composing modern foundation models is an effective route to scalable, label-free change detection.
