Crop-type mapping, EO-Atlas topic

Crop-type mapping assigns crop species or crop groups to agricultural parcels or pixels using seasonal optical reflectance, radar backscatter, radar coherence, hyperspectral signatures, and crop-calendar behaviour.^[1]^[2]

ESA WorldCereal demonstrates global seasonal cropland and crop-type mapping at 10 m with Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, Landsat, meteorological, and in-situ data.^[1]^[3]

Crop-type classification depends on time-series behaviour as well as spectral separability, so crop calendars and local reference data affect model transferability.^[2]^[1]

SAR-optical fusion adds weather-independent structural information for cloud-prone agricultural regions.^[2]
