Satellite change detection in the albany thicket biome by Mahlasi, Craig

“…The majority of tools that seek to perform continuous land cover change detection have been developed for forests and thus tend to perform poorly in thicket ecosystems. This study aims to use multi-temporal satellite imagery to detect transformation of Albany Thicket in near-real time. …”
