What is the Value of a Good Map? An Example Using High Spatial Resolution Imagery to Aid Riparian Restoration
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used high-resolution satellite imagery from the QuickBird satellite to map harvested and intact forests in coastal British Columbia, Canada, and distinguished forest structural classes used in riparian restoration planning.

Automatic Spectral-Rule-Based Preliminary Classification of Radiometrically Calibrated SPOT-4/-5/IRS, AVHRR/MSG, AATSR, IKONOS/QuickBird/OrbView/GeoEye, and DMC/SPOT-1/-2 Imagery—Part I: System Design and Implementation
TL;DR: The two-stage stratified hierarchical RS-IUS model, originally proposed by Shackelford and Davis, is identified as a subclass of the parent class of multiagent hybrid systems for RS image understanding, which is potentially superior to the two- stage segment-based RS- IUS architecture currently considered the state-of-the-art in commercial RS image-processing software toolboxes.

Calculating Change Curves for Multitemporal Satellite Imagery: Mount St. Helens 1980–1995
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed and tested a method for analyzing multitemporal satellite imagery using change curves, which allows an analyst to extract specific change parameters from the curves depending on the research question of interest.
