Eucalyptus plantations have characteristics that enhance the use of time series in their classification, such as clear-cutting before planting or previous rotation and the rapid growth of large vegetation cover, which remains stable throughout the rotation period. This article compares the performance of two classification methods for mapping Eucalyptus areas: an object-oriented classification (GEOBIA) using products generated by the LandTrendr change detection algorithm based on trajectories and a classification using machine learning (random forest). Using a Landsat time series from 1985 to 2020, tests were conducted in a pilot area in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Both methods showed high accuracy in detecting Eucalyptus areas. However, the trajectory-based classification proved slightly superior, achieving a global accuracy of 0.988 and an F-Score of 0.975, while the classification using the random forest algorithm achieved a global accuracy of 0.954 and an F-score of 0.849. Regarding identifying the initial year of planting, both methods proved effective without showing significant differences (p-value = 0.1003). However, detecting the initial year using the LandTrendr algorithm proved more assertive. Both methods revealed periods of increase and stabilization in Eucalyptus planting throughout the time series, proving promising for determining the location and age of each stand and, thus, obtaining information about the time of use of that area for Eucalyptus cultivation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":53227,"journal":{"name":"Remote Sensing Applications-Society and Environment","volume":"37 ","pages":"Article 101444"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143101042","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}

As urbanization encroaches on agricultural areas, understanding the dynamics of abandoned croplands and accurately classifying and detecting them are essential for informed sustainable land use and effective policy development. However, traditional methods struggle to identify abandoned croplands due to temporal variability, limited spectral data and challenges in land cover variations. To address these challenges, we introduced an innovative deep learning approach that combines a Vision Transformer (ViT) with ChangeFormer for the classification and change detection of cropland abandonment using Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 datasets in Lahore, Pakistan. We employed ViT for image classification, enhancing its efficacy through the incorporation of Vegetation Indices (VIs). This integration led to notable improvements in F1 score and Overall Accuracy (OA), elevating them from 86% and 88%to 92% and 95% respectively. Subsequently, ViT-generated classified rasters facilitated in identification of abandoned lands using ChangeFormer model. The direct comparison showcased a significant enhancement in ChangeFormer's performance, with F1 score and OA escalating from 91% and 90% to 97.5% and 96%, respectively. The improvment was particularly evident when testing ChangeFormer with ViT-generated rasters compared to raw imagery for binary change detection. The study identified 32,043 ha of abandoned cropland (14,613 in 2019 and 17,430 in 2024), with 16.35% converted to built-up areas in 2024. Urbanization was the primary driver, followed by conversions to barren land and water bodies.

The radar indices were employed within regression approaches such as random forest (RF), support vector regression (SVR), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), and linear regression to estimate VWC. The performance of DPRVI was found better to capture aspects of vegetation dynamics and effectively estimates VWC values with a high correlation (R2) of 0.59.

By focusing on these areas and <u>leveraging machine learning</u>, future advancements promise more accurate and comprehensive monitoring to protect aquatic ecosystems and public health.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":53227,"journal":{"name":"Remote Sensing Applications-Society and Environment","volume":"37 ","pages":"Article 101488"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143444801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
