Crop classification with deep convolutional neural network based on crop feature by Mohamad Reza Gili, Davoud Ashourloo, Hosein Aghighi, Ali Akbar Matkan, Alireza SHakiba

“…Due to the spectral overlap of the crops in some time periods, network training was associated with a relatively high loss and therefore, for the test area, the overall classification accuracy was 69% (percent) and the kappa coefficient was 0.55. In the next step, the functions that were developed as phenological features for crops were applied on the time series of the bands, and for each crop, a feature channel was obtained as the special feature of that crop. …”
