Abstract

We present a framework for reliably and robustly detecting changes in terrain (or other 3-D objects) over time. We first present our
framework, which consists of a method for modeling terrain using a novel image-matching measure called the coding loss, a method for estimating the accuracy of the resulting terrain models called self-consistency, and method for detecting changes based on this estimate. We then present experiments using our framework.
