Automated Detection of Anthropogenic Changes in Municipal Infrastructure with Satellite Sub-meter Resolution Imagery

Abstract

This paper discusses an efficient method for the automated detection of antropogenic changes in urban development with multispectral satellite producing sub-meter resolution imagery. The proposed method efficiency is confirmed with vector layers of detected changes in urban development obtained as a result of processing infrared and visible multidate images. The developed technique significantly reduces complexity and thus increases operational efficiency of map updating due to automation of satellite imagery processing.
