MAPPING FOREST DISTURBANCE USING PURE FOREST INDEX TIME SERIES AND CCDC ALGORITHM

Forest Disturbance Mapping Using Dense Synthetic Landsat/MODIS Time-Series and Permutation-Based Disturbance Index Detection

Spatio-temporal information on process-based forest loss is essential for a wide range of applications. Despite remote sensing being the only feasible means of monitoring forest change at regional or greater scales, there is no retrospectively available remote sensor that meets the demand of monitoring forests with the required spatial detail and guaranteed high temporal frequency. As an altern...

Examining Forest Disturbance and Recovery in the Subtropical Forest Region of Zhejiang Province Using Landsat Time-Series Data

Detection of forest disturbance and recovery has received much attention during the last two decades due to its important influence on forest carbon budget estimation. This research used Landsat time-series data from 1984 to 2015 to examine forest disturbance and recovery in a subtropical region of eastern Zhejiang Province, China, through the LandTrendr algorithm. Field inventory data and high...

Anomaly Detection in Time Series of Chlorophyll Around the Time and Location of Large Coastal Earthquakes Using Random Forest Method

Earthquake is one of the most devastating natural hazards which efforts to predict the time, location and magnitude of it have not been yet completely successful. Remote Sensing data is proved to be an effective source of information about lithospheric and atmospheric activities around the impending earthquakes which are referred to as earthquake precursors. The issue of detecting anomalies in ...
