A Large-Scale Agricultural Land Classification Method Based on Synergistic Integration of Time Series Red-Edge Vegetation Index and Phenological Features by Huansan Zhao, Chunyan Chang, Zhuoran Wang, Gengxing Zhao

“…Using Shandong Province, northern China’s agricultural heartland, as a case study, we first established a foundation with time series red-edge vegetation indices (REVI) from Sentinel-2 imagery, uniquely combining the normalized difference red edge index (NDRE₇₀₅) and plant senescence reflectance index (PSRI). Moving beyond conventional time series analysis, we innovatively amplified key temporal characteristics through newly designed spatial feature parameters (SFPs) and phenological feature parameters (PFPs). …”
