Description:
This session explores frontiers in methods to analyze a time series of land cover maps. Despite the existence of long term remotely sensed datasets such as land cover maps, change detection methods are limited and often remain an obstacle to the effective use of time series datasets. Some conventions apply inappropriate metrics or fail to provide information concerning the neighborhood characteristics of a land cover class. Other conventions have yet to address features in new data formats, such as object-oriented image analysis. This session focuses on methods to address existing challenges and establish future practices. Interested presenters should send their titles and abstracts to the session chair Robert Gilmore Pontius Jr at rpontius@clarku.edu and the session organizer Thomas Bilintoh at tbilintoh@clarku.edu.
