Early-Season Crop Mapping by PRISMA Images Using Machine/Deep Learning Approaches: Italy and Iran Test Cases
REMOTE SENSING(2024)
Abstract
Despite its high importance for crop yield prediction and monitoring, early-season crop mapping is severely hampered by the absence of timely ground truth. To cope with this issue, this study aims at evaluating the capability of PRISMA hyperspectral satellite images compared with Sentinel-2 multispectral imagery to produce early- and in-season crop maps using consolidated machine and deep learning algorithms. Results show that the accuracy of crop type classification using Sentinel-2 images is meaningfully poor compared with PRISMA (14% in overall accuracy (OA)). The 1D-CNN algorithm, with 89%, 91%, and 92% OA for winter, summer, and perennial cultivations, respectively, shows for the PRISMA images the highest accuracy in the in-season crop mapping and the fastest algorithm that achieves acceptable accuracy (OA 80%) for the winter, summer, and perennial cultivations early-season mapping using PRISMA images. Moreover, the 1D-CNN algorithm shows a limited reduction (6%) in performance, appearing to be the best algorithm for crop mapping within operational use in cross-farm applications. Machine/deep learning classification algorithms applied on the test fields cross-scene demonstrate that PRISMA hyperspectral time series images can provide good results for early- and in-season crop mapping.
