Comparative analysis of
various Change detection
methods for Faisalabad District
using Remote Sensing data
Semester-I: Advanced Image Processing and Applications
Change detection methods
• Single Band Difference selected class
• Post Classification Clsf errors
• Image Transf. (Indices) selected app.
• Composite img. [Two Date (stacked Img.) Clsf.]
• PCA (2-date image) – Clsf.
• Classification Methods:
– MLC – Machine Learning
– Spectral angle mapper – Artificial Neural Netw.
– Random Forest – Object Based 3
– etc.

Objectives
• Why land use / land cover
• Change detection methods
– Literature review
• find 10 relevant research articles
• read and understand
• select 5 and submit the brief summaries
– Research proposal (within 2/3 days) along with summaries
• Evaluating Change detection methodologies
– Select 3 methods
• Post classification (consider different classifiers)
• Composite image of two dates
• Indices and PCA
Objectives
• Accuracy assessments
• Map Compositions
• Change detection for period 2013-2023 (March)
• Report writing
Data
• Landsat 8
• Sentinel-2
Use only optical bands
Anniversaries dates March
Classes
1. Agriculture (Crop fields and fallow lands)
2. Settlements (urban, residential, roads and builtup areas)
3. Bare land (bare soil, rocks or open areas)
4. Vegetation (Mixed forest lands)
5. Water (wetlands, river, streams lakes, ponds etc.)
Tasks to do
• Classification methods
• Data import (Landsat-8 2013-2023
• Layer stack (Bands 2-7)
• Subset (Rectangle containing Faisalabad District)
• Classification (supervised) MLC (Maximum Likelihood Classifier)
– Take 10-15 signatures for each class
– Manually and region growing tool
• Signature Evaluation (Scatter plot, spectral plots, histograms,
separability)
Tasks to do
• Accuracy assessment (take 100 points, use google earth imagery and
image interpretation as reference data)
• Change detection of pre and post classification results
• Area calculation of change
• Map compositions (Title, Grid, Legend, North arrow)
– Map composition for Sub-area to highlight important features
• Interpretation and analysis of results
• Composite images - classification
• Indices & PCA
• Change detection accuracies
• Change detection
– How much area %
• Vegetation to settlement
• Vegetation to Agriculture Deforestation
• Vegetation to Baresoil
• To vegetation →Afforestation
• Vegetation to urban → Urban density
• Water → Increase / decrease
• Environmental changes
Report (Max 20-25 Pages)
