Estimation of forest cover change using Sentinel-2 multi-spectral imagery in Georgia (the Caucasus)

Our objective was to use Sentinel-2A multispectral data in order to cost-effectively detect change in forest cover in Georgia (the Caucasus). Generalized additive models (GAMs) were used to fit forest cover measures to Sentinel-2A spectral band values modified using different topographic correction...
