This monograph describes the issues affecting accuracy assessment that are particular to change detection, then develops the
factors of a remote sensing processing system that affect accuracy assessment. Change detection is typically presented in the form of a matrix, indexed by before and after
classification. This monograph presents a sampling design to estimate the elements of an error matrix efficiently, with particular attention to field procedures to obtain
reference data. A case study is presented to illustrate one possible application of various analytical techniques used to examine change results.
