Test area at different time epochs compared to the Barest Earth and Most Vegated outputs. The local study area at 6 different observation times (a–f) compared to g the Most Vegated output and h the Barest Earth output (Landsat 30+ year). The Most Vegated output is generated by inverting the Barest Earth algorithm to get the opposite response. The observation times are: a 2006–02–10, b 2009–05–09, c 2011–08–26, d 2013–05–20, e 2016–02–06, f 2016–11–04. Images are displayed with red 0.64–0.67 µm, green 0.53–0.59 µm and blue 0.45–0.51 µm in the red, green and blue image channels. This area is located at 35°18′49.0″S 149°10′23.6″E. We used a 12-year stack (January 2005–January 2017) comprised of 616 scenes.
