Collaborative Extraction of Paddy Planting Areas with Multi-Source Information Based on Google Earth Engine: A Case Study of Cambodia

High-precision spatial mapping of paddy planting areas is very important for food security risk assessment and agricultural monitoring. Previous studies have mainly been based on multi-source satellite imagery, the fusion of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) with optical data, and the combined use of m...

description High-precision spatial mapping of paddy planting areas is very important for food security risk assessment and agricultural monitoring. Previous studies have mainly been based on multi-source satellite imagery, the fusion of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) with optical data, and the combined use of multi-scale and multi-source sensors. However, there have been few studies on paddy spatial mapping using collaborative multi-source remote sensing product information, especially in tropical regions such as Southeast Asia. Therefore, based on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform, in this study, Cambodia, which is dominated by agriculture, was taken as the study area, and an extraction scheme for paddy planting areas was developed from collaborative multi-source information, including multi-source remote sensing images (Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2), multi-source remote sensing land cover products (GFSAD30SEACE, GLC_FCS30-2015, FROM_GLC2015, SERVIR MEKONG, and GUF), paddy phenology information, and topographic features. Evaluation and analysis of the extraction results and the SERVIR MEKONG and ESACCI-LC paddy products revealed that the accuracy of the paddy planting areas extracted using the proposed method is the highest, with an overall accuracy of 89.90%. The results of the proposed method are better than those of the other products in terms of the outline of the paddy planting areas and the description of the road information. The results of this study provide a reference for future high-precision paddy mapping.
