    Earth surface changes are often computed by comparing the sequences of digital elevation models (DEMs) so called the DEM of difference (DoD) method. We present an operational DEM generation, co-registration and DoD comparison software in which the surface changes are quantified in metric units of volume. A practical method, which is based on the law of error propagation, is developed to estimate the theoretical precisions of volumetric changes. The proposed pipeline can estimate the change of object volumes (in terms of loss and gain) together with their precision numbers. Change of the forest volume in a fire effected region in a test site is analyzed for the validation. The method can be used for various change detection applications related to forestry as well as other topics such as earthworks, geomorphology, mining, and urbanization.

    FORSAT: a 3D forest monitoring system for cover mapping and volumetric 3D change detection

    A 3D forest monitoring system, called FORSAT (a satellite very high resolution image processing platform for forest assessment), was developed for the extraction of 3D geometric forest information from very high resolution (VHR) satellite imagery and the automatic 3D change detection. FORSAT is composed of two complementary tasks: (1) the geometric and radiometric processing of satellite optical imagery and digital surface model (DSM) reconstruction by using a precise and robust image matching approach specially designed for VHR satellite imagery, (2) 3D surface comparison for change detection. It allows the users to import DSMs, align them using an advanced 3D surface matching approach and calculate the 3D differences and volume changes (together with precision values) between epochs. FORSAT is a single source and flexible forest information solution, allowing expert and non-expert remote sensing users to monitor forests in three and four (time) dimensions. The geometric resolution and thematic content of VHR optical imagery are sufficient for many forest information needs such as deforestation, clear-cut and fire severity mapping. The capacity and benefits of FORSAT, as a forest information system contributing to the sustainable forest management, have been tested and validated in case studies located in Austria, Switzerland and Spain.
