Results show that if we retain only 15 nonzero loadings (out of 126) in the sparse {PCA} the resulting change scores appear visually very similar although the loadings are very different from their usual non-sparse counterparts. The choice of three wavelength regions as being most important for change detection demonstrates the feature selection capability of sparse {PCA}." }
