Remote sensing image change detection remains a challenging task. Most existing approaches are based on fully supervised learning, but labeled data are so scarce for change detection. It is difficult to exhibit high detection performance with a limited amount of labeled data. In this paper, we propose a semi-supervised Label Propagation (SSLP) approach for multi-source remote sensing image change detection. First, a clustering label propagation (CLP) method is designed to cluster pre and post images, respectively, and assign pseudo labels to unlabeled pixel pairs that have similar mapping relationships to labeled pixel pairs. Second, a pixel density metric is investigated to filter out the data with low density and retain the data with high density, which can ensure the reliability of the propagated data. Third, a secondary expansion method based on pixel neighborhood is used to generate enough training data for training a classifier. Finally, the effectiveness of SSLP is validated on three real datasets by comparing to other related methods.
