 == Conclusion ==
-The final product of the tutorial is a qualitative assessment of temporal change occurring in the selected area of the GTA . The method of change detection used, write function memory insertion, is one of the many methods available in Whitebox. Although Whitebox does have some limitations, particularly with vector data, it has proven to be very effective in its ability to handle Landsat imagery for change detection.

 == Purpose ==
-The purpose of the project was to develop a method to detect change in an environment using FOSS. This tutorial has been created to allow individuals who are not familiar with GIS to successfully complete this analysis using [http://www.uoguelph.ca/~hydrogeo/Whitebox/ Whitebox (3.2.1)]. This tutorial will be carried out by analyzing the temporal changes that occur in a subsection of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Toronto_Area Greater Toronto Area (GTA)]. The end result of this Wiki will be the creation of a change detection map using the [http://www.uoguelph.ca/~hydrogeo/Whitebox/Help/WriteFunctionMemoryInsertion.html write function memory insertion] method. This will provide qualitative insight into the temporal change of land cover in a subsection of the GTA.
