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

scale.
In
the
chapter,
users
examine
three
Landsat
images
of
the
Pearl
River
