Multimodal change detection (MMCD) identifies changed areas in multimodal remote sensing (RS) data, demonstrating significant application value in land use monitoring, disaster assessment, and urban sustainable development. However, literature MMCD approaches exhibit limitations in cross-modal interaction and exploiting modality-specific characteristics. This leads to insufficient modeling of fine-grained change information, thus hindering the precise detection of semantic changes in multimodal data. To address the above problems, we propose STSF-Net, a framework designed for MMCD between optical and SAR images. STSF-Net jointly models modality-specific and spatio-temporal common features to enhance change representations. Specifically, modality-specific features are exploited to capture genuine semantic change signals, while spatio-temporal common features are embedded to suppress pseudo-changes caused by differences in imaging mechanisms. Furthermore, we introduce an optical and SAR feature fusion strategy that adaptively adjusts feature importance based on semantic priors obtained from pre-trained foundational models, enabling semantic-guided adaptive fusion of multi-modal information. In addition, we introduce the Delta-SN6 dataset, the first openly-accessible multiclass MMCD benchmark consisting of very-high-resolution (VHR) fully polarimetric SAR and optical images. Experimental results on Delta-SN6, BRIGHT, and Wuhan-Het datasets demonstrate that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art (SOTA) by 3.21%, 1.08%, and 1.32% in mIoU, respectively. The associated code and Delta-SN6 dataset will be released at: https://github.com/liuxuanguang/STSF-Net.

Change detection (CD) in multitemporal remote sensing imagery presents significant challenges for fine-grained recognition, owing to heterogeneity and spatiotemporal misalignment. However, existing methodologies based on vision transformers or state-space models typically disrupt local structural consistency during temporal serialization, obscuring discriminative cues under misalignment and hindering reliable change localization. To address this, we introduce ChessMamba, a structure-aware framework leveraging interleaved state-space modeling for robust CD with multi-temporal inputs. ChessMamba integrates a SpatialMamba encoder with a lightweight cross-source interaction module, featuring two key innovations: (i) Chessboard interleaving with snake scanning order, which serializes multi-temporal features into a unified sequence within a single forward pass, thereby shortening interaction paths and enabling direct comparison for accurate change localization; and (ii) Structure-aware fusion via multi-dilated convolutions, selectively capturing center-and-corner neighborhood contexts within each mono-temporal. Comprehensive evaluations on three CD tasks, including binary CD, semantic CD and multimodal building damage assessment, demonstrate that ChessMamba effectively fuses heterogeneous features and achieves substantial accuracy improvements over state-of-the-art methods.The relevant code will be available at: github.com/DingLei14/ChessMamba.
