Land cover usage changes through time, due to various factors such as crop rotation or due to the seasons. Because of this, you need to classify images with a temporal resolution, by adding recurrent connections into the model.

For example, a tree changes colour throughout the seasons, but it doesn’t matter if it’s green or yellow – it’s always a tree.

Land cover usage is frequently used to address various issues, such as food security, the urban sprawl as well as to address ecosystem health.
