Dstl Technical Workshop on Automatic Change Detection, Malvern, 04-05/10/06
- August 9, 2006
- Posted by: EARSC
- Category: EARSC News
There exist many different algorithmic approaches to the problem of detecting changes in imagery and, through the ever increasing spatial and temporal resolutions available from modern sources, great emphasis has been placed on the development of automated techniques. A great deal of crossover development is being undertaken in disparate research fields (medical imaging, remote sensing, defence etc…) presenting an opportunity for developers to come together to discuss the various approaches and the common problems inherent to the task (lighting and perspective changes for example).
