Abstract
Summary
Efficient methodologies for mapping croplands are an essential condition for the implementation of sustainable agricultural practices and for monitoring crops periodically.Traditional pixel-based image classification assigns a land cover class per pixel. All pixels are the same size, same shape and don’t have any concept of their neighbors.However, OBIA segments an image grouping small pixels together into vector objects. Instead of a per-pixel basis, segmentation automatically digitizes the image.
