Maize Classification in Arid Regions via Spatiotemporal Feature Optimization and Multi-Source Remote Sensing Integration by Guang Yang, Jun Wang, Zhengyuan Qi

“…Key findings include: (1) Variables driven by spatiotemporal differentiation were effectively selected, with red-edge bands (B5–B7) during the grain-filling stage in August accounting for 56.7% of the top 30 features, which were closely correlated with canopy chlorophyll content (<i>p</i> < 0.01). (2) A breakthrough in lightweight modeling was achieved, reducing the number of features by 69%, enhancing computational efficiency by 62.5% (from 8 h to 3 h), and decreasing memory usage by 66.7% (from 12 GB to 4 GB), while maintaining classification accuracy (PA: 97.69%, UA: 97.20%, Kappa: 0.89). (3) Multi-source data fusion improved accuracy by 11.54% compared to optical-only schemes, demonstrating the compensatory role of radar in arid, cloudy regions. …”
