Abstract
ABSTRACTOptical remote sensing is one of the most attractive options for generating crop cover maps because it enables computation of vegetation indices, which are useful for assessing the condition of vegetation. The Sentinel-2A Multispectral Instrument (MSI), which is a multispectral sensor with 13 bands covering the visible, near infrared and short-wave infrared (SWIR) wavelength regions, offers a vast number of vegetation indices. Spectral indices, which are combinations of spectral measurements at different wavelengths, have been used in the previous studies and they sometimes contributed to improve classification accuracies. In this study, 91 published spectral indices were calculated from the MSI data. Additionally, classification algorithms are essential for generating accurate maps and the random forests classifier is one of which possesses the five hyperparameters were applied. The improvements in classification accuracies were confirmed achieving an overall accuracy of 93.1% based on the reflectance at 4 bands and 8 spectral indices.
