Change detection

  1. 01

    New and demolished buildings

    Found by comparing surface models between dates, not only images.

  2. 02

    Height change

    Added floors and extensions, measured in metres.

  3. 03

    Earthworks

    Excavation and fill volumes between two dates.

  4. 04

    Ground movement

    Subsidence and landslides at millimetre scale, from SAR interferometry.

  5. 05

    Vegetation

    Tree loss and growth near lines, roads and buildings.
