Monitoring changes
Figure 7 shows an example of detected change on the cadastral level
(surface area 2.3 ha.), a strong difference between the legal vegetation
map and the current classification is shown by the red colors. In the
legal map this plot is supposed to consist mainly of water, with some
rough vegetation around the edges. Due to the natural process of
vegetation development and a recent series of dry summers the pond has
dried up and is overgrown with rough vegetation, consisting of a
multitude of classes. The easy recognition of the red colors on the map,
joint with the time series analysis and the information on the cadastral
plot aids the dialogue with the landowner to clear the area.
