Introduction The use of high resolution imagery to update and maintain spatial databases has increased. Developing efficient automated change detection techniques to extract map accurate change features from coregistered multitemporal, multiresolution imagery has been an area of growing research interest. A change detection approach to extract changed urban features (Ex: new roads, new buildings) using object based processing, spatial contextual information and data fusion technique is presented.
Change Detection Change detection involves the analysis of coregistered images taken at two different times for the same geographical area. The techniques can be grouped into • Supervised Change Detection • Change features are extracted by analyzing images • Classified using supervised classification. • Unsupervised Change Detection • Change features are extracted by analyzing the difference • images. There are different approaches to analyzing difference • images.
Pansharpening is a pixel level data fusion technique used to increase the spatial resolution of the multispectral image using panchromatic image while simultaneously preserving the spectral information. Also known as resolution merge, image integration and multisensor data fusion. Applications Pansharpening • Sharpen multispectral data • Enhance features using complementary information • Enhance the performance of change detection algorithms using multi-temporal data sets • Improve Classification accuracy
IHS sharpening Brovey sharpening Statistical regression model sharpening High pass filter sharpening PCA-based sharpening Wavelet-based sharpening Pansharpening … The spectral and spatial quality of the sharpened image should be analyzed before using the sharpened image for further applications. The spectral information in the pansharpened image should be more similar to the multispectral image while simultaneously an increase in the high detail information is desired.
Some of the preprocessing steps are Coregistration, Radiometric normalization, Color transformation, and Spectral transformation.

Multispectral Image An area of interest – Multispectral time2
Pansharpened Image An area of interest – Pansharpened time2
eCognition an object oriented image analysis software was used for change detection. The multispectral and Pansharpened images at time2 were segmented into image objects based on scale, color, shape and compactness. Segmentation was not done on Time 1 image instead the object domain at time2 was used to drill down to images in time 1 and compare object features. Object based Approach
The RGB- IHS color transform was performed and the transformed layers were also used. RGB- IHS setting :R= Green; G= Red ; B= NIR IHS Transformation
Hue Difference: The hue Difference was thresholded to identify the new( changed) features (used to identify new urban features and water bodies) Hue Difference=Hue time2- Hue time1 Water Ratio: Water ratio was used to identify new water bodies inside the new features class domain Water Ratio= (Blue+Green) / NIR Spatial contextual information to add objects along the edge of water bodies to the appropriate class Hue: The highest 10% quantile of Mean Hue of the objects were used to identify other existing urban features in time2. Features
NDVI: NDVI in time step 2 was used to classify vegetation NDVI= (NIR-Red)/(NIR+Red) NDVI was also used to identify cleared / barren areas Some of the urban features which were classified as cleared were reclassified based on their proximity to urban features. Water ratio: Water ratio was used to classify existing water bodies. Building shadows were also picked up as water were removed based on amount of relative border with other water objects Features …

A Change detection approach using high resolution imagery, object based classification, spatial context information and data fusion techniques was illustrated. The Pansharpened images can be used to extract features that are not distinguishable in the multispectral image. The spectral and spatial quality of the sharpened image need to be analyzed before using them for classification and change detection. Conclusions
