The omnibus test statistic and its factorization detect if and when change(s) occur. The technique is demonstrated on airborne {EMISAR} {L-}band data but may be applied to Sentinel-{1,} Cosmo-SkyMed, TerraSAR{-X,} {ALOS} and RadarSat-2 or other dual- and quad/full-pol, and even single-pol data also." }
