This paper introduces an efficient method to extract “trusted pixels” from the historical Cropland Data Layer (CDL) data using crop rotation patterns, which can be used to replace the actual ground truth in the crop mapping and other agricultural applications. A case study in the Nebraska state of USA is demonstrated. The common crop rotation patterns of four major crop types, corn, soybeans, winter wheat, and alfalfa, are compared and analyzed. The experiment results show a considerable number of pixels in CDL following the certain crop sequence during the past decade. Each observed crop type has at least one reliable crop rotation pattern. Based on the reliable crop rotation patterns, a great proportion of pixels can be correctly mapped a year ahead of the release of current-year CDL product. These trusted pixels can be potentially used to label training samples for crop type classification at early growing season.","PeriodicalId":143731,"journal":{"name":"2019 8th International Conference on Agro-Geoinformatics (Agro-Geoinformatics)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115406245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among a number of super-pixel methods, the simple linear iterative clustering (SLIC) has been widely applied due to its simplicity, efficiency, and ability to adhere to image boundaries. SLIC itself, however, was originally designed to group black-white or three-color common images rather than multi-spectral/ hyperspectral remote sensing ones into super-pixels. In order to better apply SLIC to segmenting remote sensing images at high spatial resolution, the SLIC algorithm was modified by incorporating grey-level co-occurrence matrix texture with color features and expanding measure approach for weighted distance of texture and color similarity and spatial proximity between super-pixel center and neighboring pixels. Gaofen-2 panchromatic, multispectral and fused images were used to valid the modified SLIC (MSLIC) algorithm. Both completeness (CPS) and correctness (CRS) were used to quantitatively evaluate both MSLIC and SLIC algorithms. Visually interpreting approach was also applied to compare the segmentation and classification maps from the two algorithms. The experimental results indicate MSLIC achieves higher CPS and CRS than SLIC.","PeriodicalId":143731,"journal":{"name":"2019 8th International Conference on Agro-Geoinformatics (Agro-Geoinformatics)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134074242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ensemble learning algorithms have received great attention in remote sensing for classification due to their greater performance compared to single classifiers in terms of accuracy. Extreme gradient boosting is the regularized extension of traditional boosting techniques and could overcome the overfitting constrain of gradient boosting (a.k.a gradient boosting machine). Three types of booster which are linear booster, tree booster and DART (Dropouts meet Multiple Additive Regression Trees) booster were tested on XGBoost for crop classification. From the multi-temporal PolSAR data, two types of polarimetric dataset (linear backscatter coefficients and Cloude–Pottier decomposed parameters) were extracted and incorporated into the classification step. The impacts of polarimetric features for crop classification were also analyzed in detailed besides exploring the boosting types of XGBoost. Our experimental results demonstrated that tree booster and DART booster were found to be superior compared the linear booster in terms of overall classification accuracy for both polarimetric dataset. The highest classification accuracy (87.97%) was achieved by tree booster with linear backscatter coefficients. Furthermore, linear backscatter coefficients achieved higher performance with respect to Cloude–Pottier decomposition in terms of classification accuracy.","PeriodicalId":143731,"journal":{"name":"2019 8th International Conference on Agro-Geoinformatics (Agro-Geoinformatics)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123926969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this research, drought-sensitive soil map was made in Izmir province by using soil properties which are effective in the resistance of soils to drought. These properties were examined in a GIS based model under 4 different headings as soil taxon, geomorphologic units, topography and physicochemical parameters of soils. The water holding capacity of soil taxon varies according to their genetic structure and horizon characteristics. The soil taxon was grouped according to their horizon depth, genetic origin of the parent materials, water holding capacity and they were graded in terms of resistance to drought. The topographic structure of the land was taken into consideration especially in terms of the degree and the shape of the slope such as concave-convex-linear straight etc. Geomorphological units are considered as another important parameter. Soil water budgets can also differ in terms of formation characteristics and location of each geomorphological unit. For example, lands have poor drainage condition, marshes, land around the lagoonary system, old lacustrine flat lands have a location close to surface and subsurface water. In addition, independent of the above mentioned parameters, the physical and chemical properties of soils such as texture, organic material and lime content effect soil water holding capacity. In this study, in order to determine the coexistence of the parameters effecting the soil water budget, a query model which is compatible with Analytic Hierarchy Process method has been formed in GIS. For this purpose, 22 soil great group and 9 soil parameters for each soil great groups were used as sub variable parameters. As a result of the research, a 4-graded drought-resist soil map was created as a base map for drought management projects.","PeriodicalId":143731,"journal":{"name":"2019 8th International Conference on Agro-Geoinformatics (Agro-Geoinformatics)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128842429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, ill-posedness problem widely exists in the model inversion processes. Therefore, the study develops a spatial constraint method to regularize the RTM inversion, and LAI variable is estimated on object-level.

A comparative analysis of the two methods shows that the Asymmetric Gaussian function fitting is more suitable for a single season. The Savitzky-Golay filtering is more sensitive, and there are many pseudo-peaks in the fitted curve, resulting in a large extraction result compared with verification data. The twice Savitzky-Golay filtering further smooths the curve and removes a large number of false peaks, which is more suitable for the vegetation characteristics of paddy fields in Guangdong Province; The paddy field planting area is highly correlated with the rice planting area, but there are rice-peanut, rice-sweet potato and rice-sweet sugarcane planting patterns in the paddy field. In addition, the classification accuracy of paddy fields is one of the main influencing factors, so it is difficult to extract rice planting area accurately; During 2014-2016, the paddy field in Guangdong Province is dominated by double cropping system. The area of single cropping system is increased and then decreased, and the area of the double cropping system is reduced and then increased. The fallow paddy fields are mainly distributed around the construction land, especially in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.","PeriodicalId":143731,"journal":{"name":"2019 8th International Conference on Agro-Geoinformatics (Agro-Geoinformatics)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123663936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
