Continuous Degradation Detection (CODED)

CODED is an algorithm developed to monitor for low-magnitude forest disturbances using Landsat data. The algorithm is based upon previous developments in continuous land cover monitoring (Zhu and Woodcock, 2014) and tropical degradation monitoring using spectral unmixing models (Souza et al., 2013) and is built upon the Google Earth Engine processing and data storage system. CODED is designed to create a stratification for sample-based estimation of degraded forests.

An updated repository with Javascript code to run the algorithm can be found here.
