These metrics do not exploit the full temporal detail of time series, depend on their definition or threshold, and are influenced by disturbances. Here, we evaluated a robust phenological change detection ability of a method for detecting abrupt, gradual, and phenological changes within time series. BFAST, Breaks For Additive Seasonal and Trend method, integrates the decomposition of time series into trend, seasonal, and remainder components with methods for detecting change within trend and seasonal (i.e. phenology) component. We tested BFAST by analysing 16-day MODIS NDVI composites (MOD13C1 collection 5) between 2000–2009 covering Australia. This illustrated that the method is able to detect the timing of major phenological changes within time series while accounting for abrupt disturbances and gradual trends. It was also shown that the phenological change detection is influenced by the signal-to-noise ratio of the time series. The BFAST method is a generic change detection method which can be applied to any time series data. The methods are available in the BFAST package for R [1] from CRAN (http://CRAN.R-project. org/package=bfast).","PeriodicalId":254778,"journal":{"name":"2011 6th International Workshop on the Analysis of Multi-temporal Remote Sensing Images (Multi-Temp)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124703726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main objective is to get a description of the seasonal behaviour and interannual variations in order to study anomalies and potential trends of the vegetation. The work was based on time series acquired during the last 10 years by the SPOT VEGETATION sensor with a 1km spatial resolution. The NDVI was used as an indicator of the vegetation growing cycle. Daily surface reflectance values were composited into decades to reduce clouds and haze effects, using the mean compositing algorithm. The decadal NDVI values were spatially averaged for each pixels belonging to a similar vegetation type and temporally for the 10 years of data. The result is a smooth profile representing the seasonal reference pattern as well as the interannual variability inherent to a specific vegetation type.","PeriodicalId":254778,"journal":{"name":"2011 6th International Workshop on the Analysis of Multi-temporal Remote Sensing Images (Multi-Temp)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128779228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the most important indices is the Winkler Index (WI) defined as the total summation of daily average air temperature above 10 °C from 1st of April to 31th of October in the Northern hemisphere [1]. Mapping of the WI is commonly based on temperature data from meteorological stations. However, in complex terrain such as the European Alps, these are usually irregularly and sparsely distributed or unavailable. This renders traditional geospatial interpolation approaches difficult to become reliable. As an alternative, thermal remote sensing data, which are intrinsically spatialised, can be used. The aim of this work was to provide time series of Winkler Index maps from 2003 to 2010, by means of the MODIS Land Surface Temperature (LST) data and to validate the maps using ground truth data, collected by two weather station networks.","PeriodicalId":254778,"journal":{"name":"2011 6th International Workshop on the Analysis of Multi-temporal Remote Sensing Images (Multi-Temp)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128048962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The release of the Landsat image archive represents an opportunity to assess rainforest clearing over time through time-series analysis. The objective was to map the extent of rainforest clearing and assess land cover trends at the object level within a selected study area in Sabah, Borneo using Landsat images from 1991, 2000, 2004 and 2008. The images were delineated based on image interpretation cues and validated against existing high spatial resolution images on Google Earth. Overall mapping accuracies were >94%. Time-series trends for each delineated object were classified into trend classes to quantify the land cover history per object. The results showed that approximately 31% or 5,500 km2 of land cover within the study area changed between 1991 and 2008.

The interferograms forming such time series allow ground deformation occurring between acquisition dates to be measured with high precision. Nevertheless, they can be affected by variations in atmospheric conditions. The proposed approach is designed to handle these varying atmospheric conditions. The stratified atmosphere is first removed and the phase evolution is built using a Small BAseline Subsets (SBAS) strategy. Then, frequent grouped sequential patterns are extracted. These patterns allow InSAR time series to be described spatially and temporally while discarding atmospheric perturbations. Experimental results on an ENVISAT InSAR time series covering the Haiyuan fault in the northeastern boundary of the Tibetan plateau are presented.","PeriodicalId":254778,"journal":{"name":"2011 6th International Workshop on the Analysis of Multi-temporal Remote Sensing Images (Multi-Temp)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123691350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Effective use of nematicides at a variable rate is the only economic counter measure. It requires the nematode population in the field to be known, which in turn depends on the collection of soil samples from the field and analyzing them in the laboratory. This process is economically prohibitive. Hence there is a need to develop alternative methods through which the actual numbers of reniform nematode present in the field can be determined. In this paper we propose a methodology in which a canopy reflectance model (PROSAIL) is inverted using machine learning approaches to retrieve the biophysical parameters, and relate the key variables to the nematode levels, so that it is possible to quantify at all multi-temporal intervals the nematode infestation at geographically distributed fields. A Support Vector Machine (SVM) Regression method is used for the inversion and retrieval of key biophysical parameters which help to understand and quantify the nature of the nematode infested vegetation. The performance of this approach is analyzed by the accuracy measures of RMSE and N-fold cross validation average on a considerable data set. Finally, a graphical web portal is being developed to facilitate the end users to use their field collected data to determine the extent of the nematode infestation in their crop and retrieve other spatio-temporal statistics.","PeriodicalId":254778,"journal":{"name":"2011 6th International Workshop on the Analysis of Multi-temporal Remote Sensing Images (Multi-Temp)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121555539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Time-Space characterization refers to an approach for representing this continuum as combinations of spatial and temporal components with a minimum of assumptions about the forms of the patterns. Patterns can be related to processes through modeling — both deterministic and statistical. By combining characterization and modeling, two complementary analytical tools can be used together so that each resolves a key limitation of the other. Empirical Orthogonal Function analysis, used in conjunction with Temporal Mixture Models, provide a way to 1) Represent the spatiotemporal dimensionality of an image time series, 2) Identify distinct temporal modes and their spatial distributions, and 3) Map the relative contributions of these modes to the observed image time series as spatially continuous fields.

For this study a sample set of 104 image pairs was selected, each of 20 × 20 km, cut from Landsat TM/ETM+ imagery series. An object based approach was applied for the land cover change detection.
