Performance Evaluation of Change Detection Techniques

Most of change detection studies concentrate on the theory and the applications of change detection rather than on its algorithmic part. Although numerous comparative studies have been published, but they have not typically looked at more than four algorithms and have generally only dealt with a single set of data. Also little work has been done to implement these technologies in a production environment. No systematic effort has been made so far to gather, analyze and present change detection algorithms. The novelty of this research is to present such algorithms in a rather systematic way. However, these algorithms are only a small fraction of the total number of algorithms existing in the literature. One of the main objectives is to compare among these algorithms to expound their strengths as well as their weakness. So that remotely sensed change detection algorithms are mentioned, compared and commented.
