LCLU plays a crucial role in land and territory planning and management tasks. This study aims to complement information on the types and rates of LCLU multiannual changes with the distributions, rates, and consequences of these changes in the Crozon Peninsula, a highly fragmented coastal area. To evaluate the multiannual change detection (CD) capabilities using high-resolution (HR) satellite imagery, we implemented three remote sensing algorithms: a support vector machine (SVM), a random forest (RF) combined with geographic object-based image analysis techniques (GEOBIA), and a convolutional neural network (CNN), with SPOT 5 and Sentinel 2 data from 2007 and 2018. Accurate and timely CD is the most important aspect of this process. Although all algorithms were indicated as efficient in our study, with accuracy indices between 70% and 90%, the CNN had significantly higher accuracy than the SVM and RF, up to 90%. The inclusion of the CNN significantly improved the classification performance (5\u201310% increase in the overall accuracy) compared with the SVM and RF classifiers applied in our study. The CNN eliminated some of the confusion that characterizes a coastal area. Through the study of CD results by post-classification comparison (PCC), multiple changes in LCLU could be observed between 2007 and 2018: both the cultivated and non-vegetated areas increased, accompanied by high deforestation, which could be explained by the high rate of urbanization in the peninsula.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13193899","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,8]],"date-time":"2021-10-08T21:26:20Z","timestamp":1633728380000},"page":"3899","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":66,"title":["Mapping and Monitoring of Land Cover\/Land Use (LCLU) Changes in the Crozon Peninsula (Brittany, France) from 2007 to 2018 by Machine Learning Algorithms (Support Vector Machine, Random Forest, and Convolutional Neural Network) and by Post-classification Comparison (PCC)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Guanyao","family":"Xie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory LETG-Brest, G\u00e9omer, UMR 6554 CNRS, IUEM UBO, 29200 Brest, France"}]},{"given":"Simona","family":"Niculescu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory LETG-Brest, G\u00e9omer, UMR 6554 CNRS, IUEM UBO, 29200 Brest, France"},{"name":"Department of Geography, University of Western Brittany, 3 Rue des Archives, 29238 Brest, France"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"iii","DOI":"10.2112\/07A-0017.1","article-title":"How Many People Live in Coastal Areas?","volume":"23","author":"Crowell","year":"2007","journal-title":"J.
