However, construction activities such as pit construction, new construction, or demolition of buildings in rail transit protection zones pose a substantial threat to structural safety. Efficiently monitoring and managing changes in buildings within these zones has become a hot spot in current research. Presently, academics are predominantly concentrating on the iteration and optimization of deep learning algorithms for building recognition and achieving fruitful results. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of evaluation on the effectiveness of the identical deep learning algorithm on different sample sets. Consequently, this paper selects the protection zones of 16 lines under the Beijing Subway Operation Co., Ltd. and employs the Mask R-CNN algorithm to identify and extract building changes. The study utilizes two general datasets and a dedicated training sample set for quantitative analysis and evaluation of effectiveness. Results demonstrate that the Mask R-CNN algorithm, with the dedicated training sample set, achieves superior performance in all metrics. The P reaches 92.45%, showing a significant improvement compared to the general datasets. The R is 93.28%, with a relatively smaller improvement. The F1 score and IOU are 92.86% and 86.38%, respectively, which are significantly higher than those of the general datasets. Furthermore, compared to the advanced building change detection algorithm EGRCNN, the R is 1.06% lower. However, other indicators show improvements, with increases of 1.04%, 3.62%, and 5.81%, correspondingly.
