When performed on synthetic aperture radar images, the most critical issues are as follows: 1) the labeling of the identified changing patterns and 2) the scarce robustness of classic pixel-based approaches based on threshold segmentation of an appropriate change index, which tend to fail when multiple changes are present in the study area. In this work, a new methodology for unsupervised change detection in vegetation canopy is presented. It overcomes these limitations by exploiting multitemporal geographical object-based image analysis with the aim to make the intrinsic semantic of data emerge and direct the processing toward the identification of precise classes of changes through dictionary-based preclassification and fuzzy combination of class-specific information layers. The proposed methodology has been tested in ten different experiments covering agriculture and clear-cut deforestation applications. The results, validated against literature methods, highlighted the superiority of the proposed approach, which was quantitatively assessed in terms of standard classification quality parameters. On agriculture experiments, it allowed for an average increase in the detection accuracy of about 11% with respect to the best performing literature method, with an increment of the false alarm rate in the order of 0.5%. In case of deforestation, the registered detection accuracy was comparable to that achieved by the literature, while the most significant benefit was the reduction, of more than one-third, of the number of detected false deforestation patterns. Overall, the main characteristics of the proposed architecture are the robustness and the lack of any supervision, which makes it very well-suited for operational scenarios.
