DOI: 10.1080/01431161.2017.1331057
Abstract: ABSTRACT Multitemporal archived imagery enables the monitoring of savannah woody cover, for ecological purposes. Compatibility in multitemporal, multiple sensor image data would facilitate the monitoring. The decommissioning of SPOT 5 (Système Pour l’Observation de la… read more here.
