A New Change Detection Technique Applied to COSMO-SkyMed Stripmap Himage Data
Abstract
Change Detection techniques in SAR images is very relevant for the locationing and the monitoring of interesting land changes. At present, it is a very important topic due to the high repetitiveness and of the new SAR satellite instruments (e.g. COSMO-SkyMed and Sentinel-1). Geocart S.p.A. has reached important results about SAR change detection techniques within a technological project designed and implemented for the Italian Space Agency. The project's title is Integrated Monitoring System: application to the GAS pipeline". The aim of the project is the development of a new remote sensing service integrating aerial and satellite data for GAS pipeline monitoring. An important Work-Package of the project aims to develop algorithms regarding the change detection to be applied on COSMO-SkyMed Stripmap Himage data in order to identify heavy lorries on pipelines. Particularly, the paper presents a new change detection technique based on a probabilistic approach and the corresponding applicative results.
