Based on a comprehensive review of literature, available data sets, and suggested algorithms, the author proposes approaches for the two major challenges: To address the diversity of geographical entity representations over space and time, image segmentation is considered a global non-linear optimization problem, which is solved by applying a metaheuristic algorithm. To address the uncertainty inherent to both the data source itself as well as its utilization for change detection, a probabilistic model is developed. Experimental results demonstrate the capabilities of the methodology, e.g., for geospatial data science and earth system modeling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer Spektrum\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-01-19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783658205690\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-658-20570-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 192\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47525277433996,"sku":"9783658205690","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783658205690.jpg?v=1776020296","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783658205690","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
