Resumen
Timely and accurate extraction of crop planting structure information is of great importance for food security and sustainable agricultural development. However, long time series data with high spatial resolution have a much larger data volume, which seriously limits the quality and efficiency of the application of remote sensing to agriculture in complex crop rotation areas. To address this problem, this paper takes Lujiang County, a typical complex crop rotation region in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China as an example, and proposes utilizing the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform to extract the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Normalized Difference Yellowness Index (NDYI) and Vertical-Horizontal Polarization (VH) time series sets of the whole planting year, and combining the Simple Non-Iterative Clustering (SNIC) multi-scale segmentation with the Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Random Forest (RF) algorithms to realize the fast and high-quality planting information of the main crop rotation patterns in the complex rotation region. The results show that by combining time series and object-oriented methods, SVM leads to better improvement than RF, with its overall accuracy and Kappa coefficient increasing by 4.44% and 0.0612, respectively, but RF is more suitable for extracting the planting structure in complex crop rotation areas. The RF algorithm combined with time series object-oriented extraction (OB + T + RF) achieved the highest accuracy, with an overall accuracy and Kappa coefficient of 98.93% and 0.9854, respectively. When compared to the pixel-oriented approach combined with the Support Vector Machine algorithm based on multi-temporal data (PB + M + SVM), the proposed method effectively reduces the presence of salt-and-pepper noise in the results, resulting in an improvement of 6.14% in overall accuracy and 0.0846 in Kappa coefficient. The research results can provide a new idea and a reliable reference method for obtaining crop planting structure information efficiently and accurately in complex crop rotation areas.
