auto_chg_detect: Perform change detection for two Landsat CDR surface...

Description Usage Arguments Value References

Description

This image automates the change detection process using the Change Vector Analysis in Posterior Probability Space (CVAPS) algorithm. The threshold for change/no-change mapping is determined using Huang's algorithm (see threshold or can be specified manually. First the images should be classified using the auto_classify function (or any other classification approach that yields per-pixel probabilities of class membership).

Usage

1
2
auto_chg_detect(t1_classes, t1_probs, t2_probs, output_path, output_basename,
  ext = "tif", overwrite = FALSE, chg_threshold = NULL, notify = print)

Arguments

t1_classes

cover classes as output from auto_classify_image for time 1 image

t1_probs

per class probabilities as output from auto_classify_image for time 1 image

t2_probs

per class probabilities as output from auto_classify_image for time 2 image

output_path

the path to use for the output

output_basename

the base filename for output files from auto_chg_detect (without an extension)

ext

file extension to use when saving output rasters (determines output file format).

overwrite

whether to overwrite existing files (otherwise an error will be raised)

chg_threshold

the threshold to use determining change and no-change areas from the change magnitude image (see chg_mag. If NULL, then threshold will be used to dermine this threshold value automatically. A threshold in the range of .75-1 is recommended as a starting point.

notify

notifier to use (defaults to print function). See the notifyR package for one way of sending notifications from R. The notify function should accept a string as the only argument.

Value

nothing - used for the side effect of performing change detection
