Mapping of crop types and crop sequences with combined time series of Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2 and Landsat 8 data for Germany

Lukas Blickensdoerfer et al.

Summary: Monitoring agricultural systems is becoming increasingly important due to global challenges. In this study, we proposed a workflow to generate national agricultural land cover maps on a yearly basis by accounting for varying environmental conditions. Our results showed high overall accuracy and plausible class accuracies for different crop types across years, despite meteorological variability and the presence of drought. The combined use of optical, SAR, and environmental data improved overall accuracies compared to single sensor approaches. The maps demonstrated high spatial consistency and good delineation of field parcels, aligning well with agricultural statistics.

Fusion of optical, radar and waveform LiDAR observations for land cover classification

Huiran Jin et al.

Summary: Land cover is essential for understanding human activities and promoting sustainable land use. Mapping land cover distribution and coverage relies heavily on classifying remotely sensed data, which has recently incorporated multi-source data fusion. However, the integration of optical, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) observations has not been thoroughly evaluated. This research summarizes related fusion studies and assesses their reported accuracy improvements, as well as conducts a case study to evaluate the fusion of optical, radar, and waveform LiDAR observations and associated improvements in classification accuracy.

Remote sensing of temperate and boreal forest phenology: A review of progress, challenges and opportunities in the intercomparison of in-situ and satellite phenological metrics

Elias F. Berra et al.

Summary: Vegetation phenology, the study of plant life cycle stages linked to ecosystem processes and climate change, is increasingly being monitored and assessed using remote sensing technology. Recent studies show that satellite-derived Land Surface Phenology (LSP) metrics can detect timing of events with reasonable certainty, particularly for spring metrics, but autumn phenology remains more challenging. Opportunities for further advancements in remote sensing include the use of multiple orbital sensors and combining data from different levels, while ground-based observations will continue to be important for accurate recording of species-specific phenological events.

Pre- and within-season crop type classification trained with archival land cover information

David M. Johnson et al.

Summary: Crop type maps were created across the Corn Belt and Great Plains regions of the United States without the need for traditional in-season training data, using machine learning of historical land cover information and multi-spectral satellite imagery composites. By integrating CDL, Landsat, and Sentinel-2 information, the best crop maps were achieved by late September, with agreements for corn and soybean near 85% and winter wheat around 70%.

Towards interpreting multi-temporal deep learning models in crop mapping

Jinfan Xu et al.

Summary: Multi-temporal deep learning methods show promising performance in large-scale crop mapping by transforming remote sensing data into high-dimensional features for crop identification. The study demonstrates the importance of complete time series input, key growth periods, and critical bands for crop discrimination. By analyzing input feature importance and hidden features, deep learning models extract refined information for effective crop classification.

Sentinel SAR-optical fusion for crop type mapping using deep learning and Google Earth Engine

Jarrett Adrian et al.

Summary: Accurate crop type mapping is crucial for understanding food systems and yield prediction. Recent advances in big data, high-resolution imagery, and cloud-based analytics have enabled scientists to improve crop type mapping algorithms using remote sensing, computer vision, and machine learning. Research shows that deep learning techniques, particularly when fusing multi-temporal SAR and optical data, outperform traditional methods for crop type mapping.
