Abstract

This paper defines a methodology for change detection between two multi-spectral imageries taken on two different dates with two different sensors: SPOT-5 and FORMOSAT-2. The characteristics of the imageries are explored to obtain the maximum advantage for change detection, showing how the right combination of bands helps bring out the nature of changes. A methodology is proposed on how to use probability layers instead of the thematic map classification. Results show the advantages of using the probability layer of a supervised classification for green vegetation; this layer provides a useful tool for the analysis of changes in vegetation and buildings.
