Change detection (CD) is the process of detecting changes from multitemporal satellite images that have undergone spatial changes due to natural and man-made disaster. The objective is to analyse different change detection techniques, in order to use appropriately in various applications with the help of image processing. Techniques that are used in current researches are Image Differencing, Image Regression, Change Vector Analysis (CVA),Principal Component Analysis(PCA), Tasselled Cap, Gramm-Schmidt(GS), Post Classification Comparison, EM Detection, Unsupervised Change Detection, Li-Strahler Reflectance Model, Spectral Mixture Model, Biophysical Parameter Method, Integrated GIS and Remote Sensing Method, GIS Approach, Visual Interpretation and so on. Effective change detection is required for various applications such as rate of deforestation, costal changes, urban developments, damage evaluation, resource monitoring and land disposition.

Abstract Two change detection techniques (NDVI differencing and post-classification analysis) were compared, in order to detect canopy cover changes in forests on the area of twelve forest districts in the Sudety and West Beskidy Mountains in Poland, using 2012 and 2013 Black-Bridge satellite images. Although the classification accuracy of the respective images was high (about 95%), the accuracy of the difference in bi-temporal images was much worse because of the short time between the dates of images and the imperfection of the algorithm calculating the unclear boundary between the forest and no-forest areas. NDVI differencing method and thresholding brought much better overall results, although roads, clouds and fogs caused much problem performing pseudo-changes.
