Mapping Changes

To visualize change information it is often useful to create maps of the date when a pixel changes or to map the total number of changes detected within a desired range of dates. These maps can be created using the yatsm changemap.

Examples

For example, consider these mapping situations:

  1. For each year from 2000 to 2010, create a map of the first change detected within the year:

    for y1 in $(seq 2000 2010); do
        y2=$(expr $y1 + 1)
        yatsm changemap first $y1-01-01 $y2-01-01 change_$y1-$y2.gtif
    done
    
  2. Create a map of the total number of changes, per pixel, for the 2000 to 2010 decade:

    yatsm changemap num 2000-01-01 2010-01-01 changenumber_2000-2010.gtif
