High spatial resolution crop type and land use land cover classification without labels: A framework using multi-temporal PlanetScope images and variational Bayesian Gaussian mixtu... by Minh Tri Le, Khuong H. Tran, Phuong D. Dao, Hesham El-Askary, Tuyen V. Ha, Taejin Park

“…The results demonstrated the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed framework in mapping crop types and LULC at 3–5 m pixels across various ecosystems, climate zones, and human-managed landscapes. The spatial patterns of PlanetScope-based maps were (1) highly comparable with all the reference datasets at 10–30 m spatial resolution and (2) better than the traditional GMM and K-means clustering methods. …”
