This paper presents a SVM-based change detection method for forest areas, achieving high accuracy above 95%. The study focuses on extracting change information via NDVI and visible bands. Experimental results from Pingjiang county, China, show the effectiveness of the proposed method with a Kappa coefficient above 0.89.

Outline • Introduction • Purposed scheme • Experimental result • Conclusions
Introduction (1/3) • SVM (Support Vector Machines)
Introduction (2/3) • kernel function
Introduction (3/3) • choice of the kernel function
Purposed scheme (1/2) • change detection method • change class considered positive • no change class considered negative gray level of pixels
Purposed scheme (2/2) • extracting change information from forest area • NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) • for water and vegetation • besides visible bands (RED, BLUE, GREEN) • NIR • Near-infrared • RED • Red reflectance
Experimental result (1/2) • Pingjiang county,northeast Hunan province, China 1993.10.12 2001.09.24
Experimental result (2/2) Kappa coefficient : 0~1
Conclusions • SVM-based change detection method proposed • very efficient to identify forest land cover changes • detection accuracy higher than 95% • kappa coefficient higher than 0.89
