Abstract
A system and method detect a change within an agricultural field during a growing season. The system and method involve the computation of correlation coefficients between pairs of images in a time series of images over an area, for example an agricultural field. Through comparisons of correlation coefficients over time, sudden field changes can be detected. When these field changes meet specified criteria (such as a minimum value threshold), a notification (alert) can be sent to an agricultural grower, informing them of the change in crop condition, and allowing them to view the changes in the field.
