Semi-automated generation of a multi-temporal forest depletion layer with the Landcover Change Mapper (LCM)

摘要: Monitoring landscape change is a requisite for sustainable development that should be achievable through the analysis of multitemporal satellite imagery. However, effective methods to analyze these data in consistent and reliable way still challenging issue demands new approaches. Here we demonstrate use recently developed detection tool (the Landcover Change Mapper, LCM) creating multi-annual disturbance inventory spanning five years 10,000 km2 forested area west-central Alberta, Canada.
