Claim One:
1. One or more computer-readable media having computer-useable instructions embodied thereon for performing a method of utilizing high-resolution remotely sensed imagery (“imagery”) to identify terrestrial objects that have changed in a certain manner, the method comprising: receiving a query that includes one or more inputs, which are related to 1) a first terrestrial object (“first object”) and 2) source change-detection information that describes change associated with the first object; applying the query to a dataset that includes indexed information that describes the imagery; based on the one or more inputs, determining a query result by: (1) determining a source feature set that describes a set of features associated with the first object, (2) comparing the determined source feature set against stored featured sets within the dataset, (3) determining a set of regions in the dataset that: i) have feature sets similar to the source feature set, and ii) are respectively associated with change information that is similar to that of the source change-detection information, wherein the query result comprises the determined set of regions; and presenting on a presentation device indications of the query result comprising at least a portion of the identified set of regions.
