Abstract:

Monitoring land-cover changes is of prime importance for the effective planning and management of critical, natural and man-made resources. The growing availability of remote sensing data provides ample opportunities for monitoring land-cover changes on a global scale using machine-learning techniques. However, remote sensing data sets exhibit unique domain-specific properties that limit the usefulness of traditional machine-learning methods. This article presents a brief overview of these challenges from the perspective of machine learning and discusses some of the recent advances in machine learning that are relevant for addressing them. These approaches show promise for future research in the detection of land-cover change using machine-learning algorithms.
