Abstract

A technique is provided for analysis of image datasets acquired at different points in time. Computer aided algorithms are implemented for identification and classification of features of interest, and for comparison of such features which have evolved over time as represented by the image data. The algorithms may be specifically adapted to analyze temporal change images. Such algorithms may also be used to efficiently launch temporal change analysis only when particular features of interest are possibly present in the image data.
