Introduction to Change Detection using Maps

DATA is available on the Trimble Learn platform: https://learn.trimble.com/learn/cours... In this From The Ground Up Session, we will have a look at the concept of Maps in Trimbles eCognition Developer software. What are Maps? Why should I use Maps? How can I use Maps? All these questions will be answered in this session. We actually will show how you can do change detection using different Maps within eCognition Developer. Maps are of course not limited to Change Detection but this is a nice use case which reveals the power of the Maps concept. For the Change detection we will have two optical data sets acquired at different time steps. After loading them we will create a Map within one project for each time step and apply a Land Cover Classification on each single time step separately. In a final step we will fuse the two classifications into one and compare them to reveal areas of change and also direction of change. _____________Video Content________________ 00:00​ - What are Maps? 01:29​ - How to create Maps? 02:27 - Applications of Maps? 06:00 - Why using Maps? 07:07 - Change Detection using Maps 10:58 - Loading data and setting up project 14:44 - RS - Creating Maps 19:25 - RS - Classifying Vegetation and Non-Vegetation 32:34 - RS - Synchronize Maps 37:48 - RS - Change Detection 53:25 - RS - Export Results (⊙_☉)
