Abstract

An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) has been developed for the task of change detection in an area of high spatio-temporal heterogeneity along a climatic gradient between humid and arid climate regions. Four recognition classes, "positive change", "negative change", "false change", and "no change" have been learned by a backpropagation ANN and then applied to Landsat images that were acquired over the study area in 1992 and 1997. A comparison with existing classification techniques indicates, in many instances, significantly improved performance due to the ANN developed.
