Abstract
Temporal, multispectral Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS-1) images as pertinent to cropland acreage estimates are illustrated and discussed. A cropland classifier is described that evaluates approximately registered, temporal, and multispectral digital ERTS-1 data acquired over a 14 section test site in central Iowa during 1973. Satellite-derived acreage estimates are compared with estimates derived from low-level images. Discrepancies between these estimates are discussed. Satellite coverage critically timed with a crop development calendar is noted to improve classifier effectiveness.
