Deforestation Viewed from Multiple Sensors

Abstract

Combining data from multiple sensors is the best way to increase data density and hence detect change faster. The purpose of this chapter is to demonstrate a simple method of combining Landsat, Sentinel-2, and Sentinel-1 data for monitoring tropical forest disturbance. You will learn how to import, preprocess, and fuse optical and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) remote sensing data. You will also learn how to monitor change using time-series models.
