Detection of ephemeral changes in sequences of images

The formalism of anomalous change detection, which was developed for finding unusual changes in pairs of images, is extended to sequences of more than two images. Extended algorithms based on RX, Chronochrome, and Hyper are presented for identifying the most anomalously changing pixels in a sequence of co-registered images. Experimental comparisons are performed both on real data with real anomalies and on real data with simulated anomalies.
