Image change detection systems, methods, and articles of manufacture
First Claim
1. A method of identifying differences between a pair of images, comprising:
- loading a source image and a target image into memory of a computer;
constructing source and target edge images from the source and target images to enable processing of multiband images;
displaying the source and target images on a display device of the computer;
aligning the source and target edge images; and
switching displaying of the source image and the target image on the display device to enable identification of differences between the source image and the target image.
