Xu et al. [24] introduce a semi-supervised label and embedding consistency network (SS-LEC) for ORSI scene classification, which strategically enforces consistency across augmentations and stages of training. Li et al. [25] propose SemiCD-VL, a VLM-guided semi-supervised change detection method that synthesizes pseudo labels via a mixed change event generation strategy, achieving significant performance gains over FixMatch and SOT A unsupervised methods. However, DL-based CD methods generally face two major challenges: the scarcity of high-quality, high-resolution, all-inclusive CD datasets and limitations in handling highly dynamic change areas. Although numerous CD datasets have been constructed and proposed, they are often tailored to specific scenarios, which restricts the generalization capabilities of the algorithms. For instance, models trained on datasets focused on human-induced changes often fail to perform effectively when confronted with natural change scenarios.
