of
farmland
in
Texas
and
New
Mexico.
They
randomly
select
a
sample
region
of
the
image,
count
the
number
of
fields
in
that
region,
and
estimate
how
many
fields
are
in
the
entire
image.
They
check
how
reasonable
their
estimate
is,
compare

This
chapter
walks
users
through
a
technique
for
documenting
change
in
before-and-after
sets
of
satellite
images.
The
technique
can
be
used
for
any
set
of
time-series
images
that
are
spatially
registered
to
show
the
exact
same
area
at
the
same
scale.
In
the
chapter,
users
examine
three
Landsat
images
of
the
