Imagine comparing two satellite photos of the same area taken at different times and asking a very picky, well-trained inspector to highlight only the meaningful changes (like new buildings or destroyed infrastructure), even though nobody ever labeled those changes by hand. This method teaches the AI to become that inspector using only coarse, cheap labels and a clever ‘good cop / bad cop’ game inside the model so it learns what real change looks like versus noise.
Traditional satellite change detection requires large, pixel-perfect labeled datasets that are expensive, slow, and sometimes impossible to obtain in defense and intelligence settings. This approach uses weak supervision and adversarial prompting to detect changes more accurately with far fewer and cheaper labels, enabling faster and more scalable monitoring of critical assets and regions.
Research-grade modeling technique (weak supervision + adversarial prompting) that, if combined with proprietary satellite archives and labeling workflows, can become a defensible capability for defense/intelligence monitoring and dual-use commercial applications (e.g., infrastructure, agriculture).

Early Adopters
Unlike standard supervised change detection that depends on dense pixel-level labels, this approach emphasizes weak supervision and adversarial class prompting, making it more practical where labeled data is scarce or sensitive (typical in defense and intelligence). It is a research innovation that could be integrated into existing satellite analytics platforms as a differentiating feature for low-label regimes.
