## 🛠️ Requirements

### Environment
- **Linux system**,
- **Python** 3.8+, recommended 3.10
- **PyTorch** 2.0 or higher, recommended 2.1.0
- **CUDA** 11.7 or higher, recommended 12.1

### Environment Installation

It is recommended to use Miniconda for installation. The following commands will create a virtual environment named `stnr` and install PyTorch. In the following installation steps, the default installed CUDA version is 12.1. If your CUDA version is not 12.1, please modify it according to the actual situation.

```bash
# Create conda environment
conda create -n stnr python=3.8 -y
conda activate stnr

# Install PyTorch
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

## 📁 Dataset Preparation

We evaluate our method on five remote sensing change detection datasets: **WHU-CD**, **LEVIR-CD**, **SYSU-CD**.

| Dataset | Link |

| WHU-CD | [Download](https://aistudio.baidu.com/datasetdetail/251669) |
| LEVIR-CD | [Download](https://opendatalab.org.cn/OpenDataLab/LEVIR-CD) |
| SYSU-CD | [Download](https://mail2sysueducn-my.sharepoint.com/personal/liumx23_mail2_sysu_edu_cn/_layouts/15/onedrive.aspx?id=%2Fpersonal%2Fliumx23%5Fmail2%5Fsysu%5Fedu%5Fcn%2FDocuments%2FSYSU%2DCD&ga=1) |



### Example of Training on LEVIR-CD Dataset

```bash
python main.py --file_root LEVIR --max_steps 80000 --model_type small --batch_size 16 --lr 2e-4 --gpu_id 0
```

### Example of Training on LEVIR-CD Dataset

```bash
python eval.py --file_root LEVIR --max_steps 80000 --model_type small --batch_size 16 --lr 2e-4 --gpu_id 0
```
