Abstract
We present a method for online detection of land coverchange based on remotely sensed time series. Change is detectedby monitoring deviations between observations and forecasts madeusing the time series historical data and similar time series in thegeographical region. This method and several others were appliedto MODIS 8-day surface reflectance data for problems of detectingsettlement expansion in Limpopo Province, South Africa, and detecting deforestation in New South Wales, Australia. The proposedmethod had significantly shorter median detection delay (DD) forequivalent rates of false alarms compared with the other evaluatedmethods. We obtained a median DD of seven samples for settlementdetection and 14 samples for deforestation detection correspondingto 56 days and 112 days, respectively. This is compared with a median DD of 224 and 544 days for the best other methods evaluated.We suggest that the proposed method is an excellent candidate forland cover change detection where rapid detection is essential.
