Project description

Characterizations of land cover dynamics are among the most important applications of Earth Observation data, providing insights that inform management, policy and science. In this project we abandon the per-pixel paradigm and apply change detection with Object-Based Image Analysis (OBIA). This project will provide methodological solutions to two main challenges raised due to the use of objects, i.e. OBIA change quantification and OBIA change evaluation.
