What is change detection?
• The use of remotely sensed data to map the spatial extent and magnitude of changes on the land surface through time– Vegetation– Urban growth– Industrial development (e.g., gas wells,
mines, etc.)– Coastal zone changes– Climate change effects (e.g., sea ice)

Basic Steps for Satellite-based Change Detection
• Acquire multi-date imagery• Preprocess imagery (geometric,
radiometric)• Apply change detection algorithm• Characterize change (transition matrices,
visual interpretation, etc.)• Report results
![Page 13: ASTER image – one of the fastest changing places in the U.S. Where??](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d215503460f949f688e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Image Acquisition
• Imagery must be available at least for start and end of change period (need to know satellite launch dates)– May require intermediate images for trends
• Imagery should be of similar spatial, spectral, and radiometric resolution (not always possible)
• Imagery usually should be from same time of year for each year
![Page 14: ASTER image – one of the fastest changing places in the U.S. Where??](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d215503460f949f688e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Preprocessing for Change Detection
• Images must be carefully registered!– Map projection is important– Painstaking registration of each date to a
“master” date• Atmospheric correction may be important
![Page 15: ASTER image – one of the fastest changing places in the U.S. Where??](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d215503460f949f688e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Change Detection Algorithms
• Many strategies for manually or digitally mapping change from satellite (or aerial) imagery
• Will discuss 5 commonly used methods, but there are variations and much room for creativity
![Page 16: ASTER image – one of the fastest changing places in the U.S. Where??](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d215503460f949f688e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Change Detection Techniques
• Image algebra (differencing, ratios)• Post classification comparison• Change vector analysis• Visual interpretation of image stacks• Automated analysis of multi-date stacks
(e.g., classification, PCA, etc.)
![Page 17: ASTER image – one of the fastest changing places in the U.S. Where??](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d215503460f949f688e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Image Algebra• Compare 2 or more dates using simple algebra• Subtract single bands or enhancements from
two dates– Must select a threshold difference to separate real
change from “noise”– Atmospheric differences between dates can cause
problems– Interpret range of results (from large negative to large
positive) in context of band or enhancement.• No change = 0, but this may be in middle (medium grey) of
the possible range of outcomes.
![Page 18: ASTER image – one of the fastest changing places in the U.S. Where??](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d215503460f949f688e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Image Algebra (cont.)
– Calculate the ratio of single bands or enhancements (e.g., NDVI) from each of 2 dates
– No change = 1, change result can vary from very small (<<1) to very large (>>1).
– Again, interpret in context of bands or enhancements
![Page 19: ASTER image – one of the fastest changing places in the U.S. Where??](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d215503460f949f688e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Land Cover Change in Pinedale Area from 1989 to 2006 using NIR Band only (2002 – 1989 NIR)
![Page 20: ASTER image – one of the fastest changing places in the U.S. Where??](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d215503460f949f688e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Same change (2006-1989) but with NDVI instead of NIR.
![Page 21: ASTER image – one of the fastest changing places in the U.S. Where??](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d215503460f949f688e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Post Classification Comparison
• Classify (map) each image from different dates– Use comparable classification schemes and
strategies– Use training areas that are stable (don’t
change much between dates)– Classify both images– Compare the classifications
• Generate “transition matrices” that are analogous to “error matrices” to analyze the types of changes that occur.

Image Display
• Display a single band (or index) from each of 3 dates as red, green, and blue.– How will “no change” appear??– How will changed areas appear?? – Not quantitative – but good for visual
exploration of change– Requires 3 dates (can do with 2 but doesn’t
work as well)

Image “stack” of 1970s, 1980s and 2002 NDVI images colored R,G,B respectively. Why the green cast over the whole image?
![Page 28: ASTER image – one of the fastest changing places in the U.S. Where??](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d215503460f949f688e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Multi-date Compositing
• Create a single image by stacking all the bands from two or more dates in one file
• Use Supervised or Unsupervised classification, or other techniques (e.g. PCA) to create maps or “change bands”– Some classes or bands may correspond to
changed pixels• Inefficient and hard to interpret
![Page 29: ASTER image – one of the fastest changing places in the U.S. Where??](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d215503460f949f688e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

On-screen Digitizing
• Put two image up on screen side by side and manually digitize areas that have changed– Only practical for small areas– Labor intensive– But…may work well for some projects
![Page 31: ASTER image – one of the fastest changing places in the U.S. Where??](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d215503460f949f688e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Change Detection IssuesThings to keep in mind for all of the
algorithms• Atmospheric effects – may need to correct
for atmospheric differences (and sun angle differences, etc.)!
• Spatial error – must accurately register all of the image dates
• Must consider other causes of change besides the ones you are interested in (e.g. wet vs. dry years, etc.)
![Page 32: ASTER image – one of the fastest changing places in the U.S. Where??](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d215503460f949f688e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Summary – Change Detection
• Change detection is a very useful application of remote sensing—used a lot (= good job skill)
• Various methods have strengths and weaknesses…choice depends on application
• Important to control for changes that don’t relate to the change you are studying (e.g. atmospheric effects)
