Crop Classification with Multi-Temporal Satellite Imagery

This repo provides codes for crop classification using multi temporal satellite images. Crop classification is important for understanding the supplies of a crop. The satellite images can be helpful in monitoring crop growth and health in near real-time. Today, high-resolution satellite images are available at a daily frequency. With high-frequency data and multiple bands, it's possible to classify crops using deep learning.

There are many classical machine learning crop classification approaches available which use mono-temporal images and use the spectral and textural properties of a crop which results in relatively low accuracy but we’ll use the method suggested by Rose M. Rustowicz author of the paper

Dataset

You can download the dataset used in this repo from Gdrive

The dataset consists of 10 RapidEye satellite images provided by the planet.com and 1 USDA Cropland data layer which provides the pixel level crop labels.

Usage

1. Run the data-preprocessing.ipynb to prepare the dataset for our models.
2. To classify the crops based on NDVI index, run NDVI_based.ipynb
3. Train the DL model using the script Crop_classification_DL_model.ipynb
