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

“…The study yielded three significant findings: (1) The synergistic application of NDRE₇₀₅ and PSRI significantly outperformed single-index approaches, demonstrating the effectiveness of our dual-index strategy; (2) The integration of SFPs and PFPs with time series REVI markedly enhanced feature discrimination at crucial growth stages, with PFPs showing superior capability in distinguishing agricultural land types through amplified phenological signatures; (3) Our optimal classification scheme (FC6), leveraging both enhanced spatial and phenological features, achieved remarkable accuracy (93.21%) with a Kappa coefficient of 0.9159, representing improvements of 4.83% and 0.0538, respectively, over the baseline approach. …”
