Optimal Classification of crops and crop-hyperspectral library creation using hyperspectral images
Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) Hyperion images were used to study five globally dominant crops (corn, cotton, rice, soybean, and winter wheat) and their growth stages in the United States, where they occupy about 75% of all the cropland areas occupied by the principal crops. The researchers from USGS (United States Geological Survey) conducted this research to evaluate the suitability of hyperspectral satellite data to estimate the agricultural area under different major crop.
