Change detection of urban areas - the Ljubljana, Slovenia case study

In this study we apply the methodology of post-classification change detection to map and monitor land cover changes and urban expansion in wider Ljubljana region. We used multitemporal Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM)/ Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) images from 1992, 1999 and 2005 to produce three land cover/land use maps. Post classification comparison of these maps was used to obtain »from-to« statistics and change detection maps.
