Remote sensing is a method of obtaining information about the
properties of an object without coming into physical contact with it.
A) Energy Source
B) Atmosphere & Radiation
C) Interaction with the target &
recording of the ref. energy
D) Transmission & ground level
processing
E) Interpretation, Analysis and
Application

Remote Sensing
 RS system capture radiation in different wavelength
reflected/emitted by the earth’s surface features and recorded
it either directly on the film as in case of aerial photography or
in digital medium used for generating the images
 It provides valuable data over vast area in a short time about
resources, meteorology and environment leading to better
resource management and accelerating national development
Remote Sensing
 Change detection in GIS is a method of understanding
how a given area has changed between two or more
time periods.
 It is helpful in many applications such as:
• Land use changes
• Rate of deforestation
• Coastal change
• Urban sprawl
 Change detection involves comparing changes
between aerial photographs taken over different time
periods that cover the exact same geographic area.
Change Detection
• Urban change
• Environmental change, drought
monitoring, flood monitoring,
monitoring
• Coastal marine environments,
desertification, and detection of
landslide areas
• Other applications such as crop
monitoring, shifting cultivation
monitoring
• Wetland change
Applications of Change
Detection Techniques
• Land-use and land-cover (LULC)
change
• Forest or vegetation change
• Forest mortality, defoliation and
damage assessment
• Deforestation, regeneration and
selective logging
• Road segments, and change in
glacier mass balance.
• Forest fire and fire-affected area
detection
• Landscape change
Change detection can be used to measure four
different types of change:
o Change in the identify of a feature over time
o Change of a feature’s location over time
o Change of a feature’s shape over time
o Change in a feature’s size over time.
Change Detection
Change Detection Procedure
Image selection
Multi-temporal Analysis
Image Registration

Atmospheric corrections
Change detection
Good change detection research should
provide the following information's:
 Area change and change rate
 Spatial distribution of changed types
 Change trajectories of land-cover types
 Accuracy assessment of change detection results

Notes:
Change detection can be used to measure four different types of change:
Change in the identify of a feature over time.    For example, the change in
type of retail store at a given location.  A local restaurant may go out of
business and be replaced by a toy store.  The actual physical building
hasn’t changed, the type of categorized land use hasn’t change
(commercial), but the specific identity of the store has change.
Change of a feature’s location over time.  Change detection can be used
to track the movement of a feature.
Change of a feature’s shape over time. Change detection can be used to
understand shrinkage in a specific specie’s habitat over time or the
changes in the shape of a river or lake.
Change in a feature’s size over time. Change detection can also measure
the extent of a feature.  Does the urban area grow or shrink between two
time points?
