SEQUENTIAL CLASSIFIER TRAINING FOR RICE MAPPING WITH MULTITEMPORAL REMOTE SENSING IMAGERY

Most traditional methods for rice mapping with remote sensing data are effective when they are applied to the initial growing stage of rice, as the practice of flooding during this period makes the spectral characteristics of rice fields more distinguishable. In this study, we propose a sequential...

description Most traditional methods for rice mapping with remote sensing data are effective when they are applied to the initial growing stage of rice, as the practice of flooding during this period makes the spectral characteristics of rice fields more distinguishable. In this study, we propose a sequential classifier training approach for rice mapping that can be used over the whole growing period of rice for monitoring various growth stages. Rice fields are firstly identified during the initial flooding period. The identified rice fields are used as training data to train a classifier that separates rice and non-rice pixels. The classifier is then used as a priori knowledge to assist the training of classifiers for later rice growing stages. This approach can be applied progressively to sequential image data, with only a small amount of training samples being required from each image. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, experiments were conducted at one of the major rice-growing areas in Australia. The proposed approach was applied to a set of multitemporal remote sensing images acquired by the Sentinel-2A satellite. Experimental results show that, compared with traditional spectral-indexbased algorithms, the proposed method is able to achieve more stable and consistent rice mapping accuracies and it reaches higher than 80% during the whole rice growing period.
