【 摘 要 】

Crop classification is an important task in many crop monitoring applications. Satellite remote sensing has provided easy, reliable, and fast approaches to crop classification task. In this study, a comparative analysis is made on the performances of various deep neural network (DNN) models for crop classification task using polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) and optical satellite data. For PolSAR data, Sentinel 1 dual pol SAR data is used. Sentinel 2 multispectral data is used as optical data. Five land cover classes including two crop classes of the season are taken. Time series data over the period of one crop cycle is used. Training and testing samples are measured and collected directly from the ground over the study region. Various convolutional neural network (CNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM) models are implemented, analysed, evaluated, and compared. Models are evaluated on the basis of classification accuracy and generalization performance.
