Description
Summary:This paper presents an incoherent change detection algorithm (CDA) for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images based on logistic regression. The input data consists of a set of 24 SAR images acquired in a test site in northern Sweden [1]. Subsets of these images are trained based on pixel amplitude, flight heading and neighboring features such as local mean, standard deviation and skewness. The proposed method intends to explore the advantadges from both pixel- and object-based approaches, while evaluating multiple features in amplitude only SAR images. Preliminary results based on K-fold cross validation have shown that the proposed CDA achieves good performance when compared to the results presented in [1].
