A method for detecting a point of interest (POI) change in a pair of inputted POI images. A first processor of the method: generates triplets of training POI images using a base of training POI images and trains a convolutional neural network (CNN) of three-stream Siamese type based on the triplets of training POI images. A second processor of the method: computes, for each image of the pair of inputted POI images, a descriptor of that image using a stream of the CNN of three-stream Siamese type, computes a similarity score based on the descriptors of the images of the pair of inputted POI images using a similarity score function, and selectively detects the POI change based on the similarity score. A third processor of the method generates the base of training POI images to include an initial set of POI images and a set of synthetic POI images.
