Optimising rice mapping in cloud-prone environments by combining quad-source optical with Sentinel-1A microwave satellite imagery

Optical satellite images are prone to cloud contamination in the tropics and subtropics especially during the monsoon season which is contemporaneous with rice cultivation. Producing rice field maps in such areas using a single optical satellite source is therefore very challenging. To obtain an ade...
