I was recently informed that the Semi-Automatic Classification Plugin (SCP) for QGIS is cited in an interesting paper (in Spanish) by Patricia Alejandra Rosell and Magalí Natalia Vicente (graduated at the Departamento de Ingeniería de la Universidad Nacional del Sur, Bahía Blanca, Argentina), which was presented at the FOSS4G Argentina 2016 (Conferencia de Geomática Libre Buenos Aires, Argentina. 5-9 de Abril), an important conference about free geographic software.
The authors used several Landsat images, processed using the SCP, in order to calculate spectral indices related to built-up, and estimating urban growth from 1986 to 2015 in the study area of Puan Partido (Buenos Aires Province, Argentina).
