研究目的
Investigating the benefits of combining CNN and RNN for crop recognition from a sequence of multitemporal remote sensing images.
研究成果
The experiments showed that features learned automatically by CNN were more discriminative than GLCM-based texture features. RNNs were more successful than the traditional image stacking method in capturing the dynamics of agricultural crops. The RCNN architecture can be used as an alternative method for crop mapping, with no need to extract features manually.
研究不足
The observed differences in performance among the approaches were not very large. The database represents a very complex agricultural dynamics, typical of tropical regions, which may be unfavorable for GRUs having a single parameter set for all dates.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study evaluates a hybrid network architecture combining RNNs and CNNs for crop mapping using multitemporal SAR images.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
A sequence of 14 co-registered Sentinel-1A images from Campo Verde, Brazil, was used.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Sentinel-1A images, TensorFlow framework for RNN, CNN, and RCNN implementations, and scikit-learn library for Random Forest classifier.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The protocol involved classifying the image corresponding to the last epoch in the sequence, using a k-fold procedure for training and testing.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Overall Accuracy (OA) and Average Class Accuracy (AA) were used to compare the performance of alternative network architectures.
