Abstract

Crop classification based on object-based image analysis (OBIA) is increasingly reported. However, it is still challenging to produce high-quality crop type maps by using recent techniques. This article introduces a new object-based crop classification algorithm which contains 4 steps. First, a random forest (RF) classifier is trained by using the initial training set, which tends to have a relatively small size. Second, importance scores for each feature variable are derived by using the RF model. Third, by treating the importance scores as weighting factors, a weighted Euclidean distance criterion is designed and used for sample creation to enlarge training set. Fourth, RF is re-trained by using the enlarged training set, and then it is employed for final classification. To validate the proposed strategy, a Worldview-2 image covering a part of Hetao plain is experimented. Results indicate that the new method yields the best overall accuracy, which equals 90.52%.
