Summary

Tools to aid visualization and interpretation of Landsat time series in R for calibration/validation of change detection methods. This package is (loosely) based on the TimeSync method (Cohen et al., 2010).

Installation

library(timeSyncR)

Implementation

Check out this short tutorial. This is very much a work in progress...
