Work with Time Series and Change Analysis

This demo shows how to use FlyPix AI to analyze geospatial imagery over time and detect changes between satellite scenes.

Go to app.flypix.ai

1. Introduction

In this guide, you'll learn how to navigate the FlyPix workspace, compare scenes captured at different times, and analyze detected changes using the Time Series tools.

Introduction

2. Open Timeline Panel

First, look at the Timeline panel located at the bottom of the workspace. This section allows you to manage the scenes used for time series analysis.

Open Timeline Panel

3. Add Scenes for Comparison

To perform change detection, you can compare two different scenes captured at different times, or use the same scene multiple times if needed. Click the plus icon to add another scene.

Add Scenes for Comparison

4. Select Georaster Files

For comparison, select the same location file that represents different time periods, such as an image showing earlier or later changes

Select Georaster Files

5. Create New Analysis

Click Create to add the selected scene to the Timeline, allowing you to compare it with other scenes for change detection.

Create New Analysis

6. Access Additional Options

Use these timeline controls to navigate between the available scenes. You can move to the previous or next scene, or quickly jump to the first or last scene in the timeline to review the imagery across different time periods.

Access Additional Options

7. View Changes Section

Now switch to the Changes tab in the timeline to begin analyzing differences between the selected scenes.

View Changes Section

8. Review Detected Changes

Inside the Detected Changes panel, you can analyze changes within the selected scene.

Review Detected Changes

9. Open Comparison Settings

Click the Refresh icon to run the change detection process. This analyzes the selected scene and identifies any changes over time.

Open Comparison Settings

10. Detection Results

Once refreshed, FlyPix recalculates the results and displays detected Additions, Deletions, and Modifications.

11. Compare Scenes Between Multiple Files

To compare different scenes, open the Comparing dropdown and select the files you want to analyze. For example, you can compare different scenes captured at different time periods to detect changes in the selected area.

Compare Scenes Between Multiple Files

12. Open Analysis Details

Click the Refresh button again to update the comparison and calculate the detected changes between the selected scenes.

13. View Detected Changes

After the comparison is complete, FlyPix displays the detected Additions, Deletions, and Modifications identified between the selected scenes.

View Detected Changes

14. Open Workspace Analytics

Next, click the Comparison Analytics icon to open the Workspace Analytics panel, where you can view analytical insights for the compared scenes.

Open Workspace Analytics

15. Review Scene Statistics

Here you’ll see a chart displaying the detected objects and their counts across the compared scenes. This helps you quickly understand how object counts change over time.

Review Scene Statistics

16. Filter Data Sources

Click the Sources dropdown to filter the data used for analysis. You can choose between All, Manual Annotations, or AI Inferences depending on the data source you want to analyze.

Filter Data Sources

17. Adjust Data Visualization

Next, open the Stacking dropdown to change how the data is visualized. Select Separate, Absolute, or Relative to view the comparison results in different visualization formats.

Adjust Data Visualization

18. Change Analysis Metric

Open the Metric dropdown to change the analysis type.. Choose Count to view the number of detected objects or Area to analyze the total area covered by those objects.

Change Analysis Metric

19. Manage Scene Options

You can also manage scenes using the three-dot menu on each scene card.

Manage Scene Options

20. Rename or Delete Scenes

From this menu, you can rename the scene or delete it depending on the action you want to perform.

Rename or Delete Scenes

This demo highlighted how FlyPix AI enables powerful geospatial analysis by allowing you to manage scenes, perform time series comparisons, and detect changes across satellite imagery. Use these tools to gain deeper insights into spatial data and monitor changes over time.
