Temporal analysis of changes in Trois-Rivières, Québec, based on GeoAI features automatically extracted from satellite images acquired in 2013 and 2021-22. Simple geospatial analysis intersecting Statistics Canada's Open Database of Buildings, version 3 (ODB v3) with GeoAI multidate building features enables the detection of buildings observed in 2021-22 that were not detected in 2013. The addition of new buildings is a good indicator of urban development and/or sprawl. ‌ GeoAI enables temporal coverage of various areas in Canada, thus providing a useful tool for change detection and trend analysis at high resolution. While the series is still fairly new, and such examples are limited for the time being, NRCan strives to gradually increase its GeoAI data offering for both spatial and temporal coverage.
