EVI Time-Series Breakpoint Detection Using Convolutional Networks for Online Deforestation Monitoring in Chaco Forest.

The Dry Chaco Forest has the highest absolute deforestation rates of all Argentinian forests (current deforestation rate of 150000 ha yr-1, 0.85% yr-1). The deforestation process is seen as a breakpoint in the enhanced vegetation index (EVI) time series, associated with the change from a typical forest phenology pattern to something else (e.g., bare soil, pasture, and cropland). Therefore, to moni...
