Desertification Detection Using an Improved Variational Autoencoder-Based Approach Through ETM-Landsat Satellite Data

The accurate land cover change detection is critical to improve the landscape dynamics analysis and mitigate desertification problems efficiently. Desertification detection is a challenging problem because of the high degree of similarity between some desertification cases and like-desertification phenomena, such as deforestation. This article provides an effective approach to detect deserted regi...
