In order to improve the contrast of the difference image and reduce the interference of the speckle noise in the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image, this paper proposes a SAR image change detection algorithm based on multi-scale feature extraction. In this paper, a kernel matrix with weights is used to extract features of two original images, and then the logarithmic ratio method is used to obtain the difference images of two images, and the change area of the images are extracted. Then, the different sizes of kernel matrix are used to extract the abstract features of different scales of the difference image. This operation can make the difference image have a higher contrast. Finally, the cumulative weighted average is obtained to obtain the final difference image, which can further suppress the speckle noise in the image.
