Abstract
To improve statistical approaches for near real-time
land cover change detection in nonGaussian time-series data, we
propose a supervised land cover change detection framework in
which a MODIS NDVI time series is modeled as a triply modulated
cosine function using the extended Kalman filter and the
trend parameter of the triply modulated cosine function is used to
derive repeated sequential probability ratio test (RSPRT) statistics.
The statistics are based on relative density ratios estimated
directly from the training set by a relative unconstrained least
squares importance Fitting (RULSIF) algorithm, unlike traditional
likelihood ratio-based test statistics. We test the framework
on simulated, synthetic, and real-world beetle infestation datasets,
and show that using estimated relative density ratios, instead
of assuming the individual density functions to be Gaussian or
approximating them with Gaussian Kernels, in the RSPRT statistics
achieves better performance in terms of accuracy and detection
delay. We verify the efficiency of the proposed approach by
comparing its performance with three existing methods on all the
three datasets under consideration in this study. We also propose
a simple heuristic technique that tunes the threshold efficiently in
difficult cases of near real-time change detection, when we need
to take three performance indices, namely, false positives, false
negatives, and mean detection delay, into account simultaneously.
