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

“…Then the algorithm was implemented using these feature channels in the test area and the overall accuracy was upgraded to 86% and the kappa coefficient to 0.82 compared to which indicated a significant improvement in the results compared to the previous case.Conclusion:The deep convolutional neural network is very sensitive to the type of input channels for detecting agricultural crops and selecting the channels with suitable tempo-spectral characteristics for different types of crops, has a great impact on the accuracy of network training and can reduce the loss of training network and increase its efficiency in the classification of various crops.…”
