Temporal generalization in evergreen leaf type classification using tailored Sentinel-2 composites by Peter Hofinger, Jan Dempewolf, Simon Ecke, Hans-Joachim Klemmt

“…In this study we applied a novel methodology for classifying leaf types – evergreen versus deciduous – using Sentinel-2 multispectral satellite imagery at 10 meter resolution and machine learning, with the aim of strengthening the robustness of predictions and eliminating the need for retraining for unseen years when training on multi-year data. Key contributions include recursive feature elimination to identify the most relevant spectral bands and indices, and optimizing compositing methods to boost classification accuracy, balancing robustness and temporal detail. …”
