Overview

Change analysis, once the observations are comparable. Not for cases whose blocker is comparability itself: mixed sensors, product levels or processing baselines to remote-sensing-analysis, undocumented vertical datums to point-cloud-lidar, multi-decade archive trends over large areas to google-earth-engine. Matching product level does not prove comparability. Otherwise invoke for what, where or how much changed: two-scene comparison, deforestation, urban growth, disaster damage, parcel-change audits, bi-temporal differencing, post-classification comparison, adjusted area, break detection in a series in hand (BFAST/LandTrendr/CCDC). Seasonal mismatch is this skill's own confounder; a documented datum with a stated accuracy budget is settled comparability. Keep both.

Change Detection & Spatio-temporal Analysis

Purpose: separate real surface change from the four great impostors — misregistration, radiometric drift, phenology, and classification error. Every method below exists to control one of them; skipping the controls produces confident maps of nothing.

Preconditions (where change detection is won or lost)

Preconditions 1 and 2 are checked here but established elsewhere. When either fails, the owning skill leads and this skill resumes once comparable observations exist. Precondition 3 is this skill's own problem and is never a reason to route away.

Co-registration: sub-pixel alignment between dates (AROSICS or manual tie-points). Half a pixel of shift creates edge-shaped phantom change everywhere. Verify: flicker-compare crisp features. For elevation surfaces or point clouds, vertical datum agreement, co-registration and the vertical-accuracy budget belong to point-cloud-lidar — a datum offset is not subsidence.
Radiometric consistency: same processing level (surface reflectance), same sensor, same processing baseline. If any of the three differ, this is a harmonization problem, not a thresholding one: hand it to remote-sensing-analysis (HLS for Landsat↔Sentinel-2, relative normalization with PIFs, BOA_ADD_OFFSET across the Sentinel-2 2022 baseline change).
Same season / phenological stage for bi-temporal work — a May vs September pair "detects" summer. If season can't be matched, use composites or time-series methods instead.
Cloud/shadow masks intersected across dates; analyze only mutually valid pixels and report that coverage %.

Method selection

Situation	Method
Two dates, continuous "how much"	Index differencing (ΔNDVI, ΔNBR...) with statistical thresholding
Two dates, categorical "from-what-to-what"	Post-classification comparison (only with strong classifiers)
Two dates, multivariate robust	Change vector analysis (CVA); MAD/iMAD for sensor-robust detection
Dense stack, gradual + abrupt	Trend + break analysis (BFAST/LandTrendr/CCDC family; at archive scale → `google-earth-engine`)
Structure change (buildings)	DL bi-temporal segmentation (siamese U-Net) → `geo-deep-learning`
SAR pairs (clouds, disasters)	Log-ratio of calibrated backscatter + speckle handling
Vector vintages (parcels, buildings)	Geometry+attribute diff with tolerance (below)

Thresholding — never eyeball it

Difference images need a defensible threshold: μ ± k·σ on the difference histogram (report k), Otsu when bimodal, or supervised thresholds calibrated on labeled change/no-change samples. Deliver the histogram with the chosen cut marked. Sensitivity: report changed-area at k-0.5 and k+0.5; if the story flips, the detection is fragile — say so.

Post-classification comparison (PCC) — handle with care

PCC error compounds: two 90%-accurate maps yield ≤ ~81% change accuracy, and biased errors create systematic false transitions. Rules:

Use ONE classifier trained on both dates' imagery (same legend, same features) rather than two independent legacy maps.
Build the full transition matrix (from-class → to-class areas), not just a change/no-change binary — impossible transitions (water→forest in 1 year) are your error detector.
Apply a minimum mapping unit consistent across dates before differencing.

Time-series (dense stack) analysis

Build a gap-filled, cloud-masked index stack (xarray, time dimension).
Decompose trend + seasonality + breaks; per-pixel linear trends need significance testing (Mann-Kendall + Sen's slope for monotonic trends — and FDR correction across millions of pixels, or your "greening map" is noise).
Label break DATES, not just presence — timing is usually the analytic payload (when did clearing start?).
Validate detected breaks against known events (fires, construction permits, disaster dates) wherever records exist.

Vector change audit (two vintages of the same layer)

Match features by stable ID if it exists; else spatial matching with IoU threshold (report it).
Classify: added / removed / geometry-changed (area delta > tolerance) / attribute-changed. Tolerances absorb digitization jitter — 1-2 m for cadastre-grade, more for digitized-from-imagery.
Sum area deltas by class and reconcile totals; unexplained residual = matching bugs.

Accuracy assessment (the deliverable's spine)

Change is rare, so random sampling wastes effort on stable pixels — use stratified sampling (strata: change/no-change or per-transition) with good-practice area estimation (Olofsson et al. protocol): report user's/producer's accuracy per stratum AND area estimates with confidence intervals adjusted for map error. A raw pixel count of the change map is a biased area estimate — always say the adjusted number.

Reporting template

## Change: <phenomenon>, <T1> → <T2 or period>
- Data: <sensor/level>, co-registration RMSE: <px>, valid overlap: <%>
- Method: <...> threshold/params: <...> (sensitivity: <stable/fragile>)
- Transitions: <matrix or top-5 list with areas ± CI>
- Accuracy: stratified n=<>, UA/PA per class, adjusted areas ± CI
- Impostor controls: season <matched?>, radiometry <harmonized?>

Pitfalls checklist

Phantom edge-change from misregistration.
Seasonal difference sold as land cover change.
PCC with two independently produced legacy maps.
Threshold chosen "because it looked right", no sensitivity.
Raw changed-pixel counts reported as area (no error-adjusted estimate).
Trend maps without multiple-testing control.
SAR change on unfiltered linear-power images.

Execution contract

Workflow: define the change question; harmonize extent, season, radiometry, resolution, and registration; select method; estimate change; validate; report uncertainty.
Decision rules: use direct differencing only for comparable continuous signals, post-classification comparison for stable class legends, and time-series methods when a dense temporal stack exists.
Verification protocol: quantify co-registration, valid overlap, threshold sensitivity, transition accounting, and accuracy-adjusted area with confidence intervals.
Failure modes: reject causal change claims when season, sensor, clouds, registration, or independent map errors can explain the signal.
Deliverables: change map, transition or trend table, parameter record, validation sample and metrics, adjusted-area estimate, and limitations.
Source freshness: consult the authoritative source registry before using version-sensitive products or APIs and record the checked date.

# Change Detection & Spatio-temporal Analysis

Purpose: separate real surface change from the four great impostors —
misregistration, radiometric drift, phenology, and classification error.
Every method below exists to control one of them; skipping the controls
produces confident maps of nothing.

## Preconditions (where change detection is won or lost)

Preconditions 1 and 2 are *checked* here but *established* elsewhere. When
either fails, the owning skill leads and this skill resumes once comparable

reason to route away.

1. **Co-registration**: sub-pixel alignment between dates (AROSICS or
   manual tie-points). Half a pixel of shift creates edge-shaped phantom
   change everywhere. Verify: flicker-compare crisp features. For elevation
   surfaces or point clouds, vertical datum agreement, co-registration and
   the vertical-accuracy budget belong to `point-cloud-lidar` — a datum
   offset is not subsidence.
2. **Radiometric consistency**: same processing level (surface
   reflectance), same sensor, same processing baseline. If any of the three
   differ, this is a harmonization problem, not a thresholding one: hand it
   to `remote-sensing-analysis` (HLS for Landsat↔Sentinel-2, relative
   normalization with PIFs, `BOA_ADD_OFFSET` across the Sentinel-2 2022
   baseline change).
3. **Same season / phenological stage** for bi-temporal work — a May vs
   September pair "detects" summer. If season can't be matched, use
   composites or time-series methods instead.
4. **Cloud/shadow masks intersected across dates**; analyze only mutually
   valid pixels and report that coverage %.
