    “How can we get better at classifying crops from space? 🛰️🌽
    Some types of satellite imagery are better at distinguishing crops than others. A USGS study compared two approaches and found one produced more accurate crop maps.
    Here's what the researchers found:
    • Hyperspectral imagery achieved 86% accuracy, compared to 75% for simulated superspectral imagery.
    • Using just 14 carefully selected hyperspectral bands produced nearly the same results as using all 60 DLR Earth Sensing Imaging Spectrometer (DESIS) bands, showing those wavelengths contain much of the information needed to distinguish crop types.
    • Using superspectral imagery on the upcoming Landsat 10 mission will allow for routine tracking of crops and enhance finer crop mapping.
    • The findings help scientists identify which wavelengths provide the most useful information for crop mapping and future remote sensing applications.
    Better crop maps will help governments and scientists track global agriculture, monitor the current crop season, and study agricultural trends…”

    “HIGHLIGHTS:
    • What are the main findings?
    - The 14 DESIS hyperspectral narrowbands (10 nm) aligned with the Landsat 10 (formerly Landsat Next) spectral dataset produced similar accuracy results to the full 60-band DESIS hyperspectral dataset for classifying crop types. These 14 DESIS narrowbands resulted in higher accuracy than the 14 simulated Landsat 10 superspectral broadbands.
    - When using DESIS narrowbands, Support Vector Machine (SVM) resulted in higher accuracy than Random Forest (RF).
    • What are the implications of the main findings?
    - A carefully selected set of 14 DESIS hyperspectral narrowbands (10 nm) can achieve classification accuracy comparable to those obtained using all 60 DESIS narrowbands across the 400–1000 nm range. These 14 strategically positioned narrowbands classified crop types with higher classification accuracy than the corresponding 14 Landsat 10 superspectral broadbands within the same spectral range.
    - This study underscores the importance of multi-temporal imagery across the full crop-growing season for achieving more detailed and accurate crop type classifications. Such temporal coverage is more feasible with the planned Landsat 10 routine acquisition of broadband imagery than with task-based hyperspectral collections…”
