Mapping Maize Cropping Patterns in Dak Lak, Vietnam Through MODIS EVI Time Series by Ha Thi Thu Nguyen, Loc Van Nguyen, C.A.J.M (Kees) de Bie, Ignacio A. Ciampitti, Duc Anh Nguyen, Minh Van Nguyen, Luciana Nieto, Rai Schwalbert, Long Viet Nguyen

“…The aim of this study was to apply the Savitzky–Golay algorithm to reconstruct noisy Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) time series (2003–2018) from Terra Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Vegetation Indices (MOD13Q1) to allow timely detection of changes in maize crop phenology, and then to employ a linear kernel Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier on the reconstructed EVI time series to prepare the present-day maize cropping pattern map of Dak Lak province of Vietnam. The method was able to specify the spatial extent of areas cropped to maize with an overall map accuracy of 79% and could also differentiate the areas cropped to maize just once versus twice annually. …”
