Abstract
Methods and systems used for the classification of a crop grown within an agricultural field using remotely-sensed image data. In one example, the method involves unsupervised pixel clustering, which includes gathering pixel values and assigning them to clusters to produce a pixel distribution signal. The pixel distribution signals of the remotely-sensed image data over the growing season are summed up to generate a temporal representation of a management zone. Location information of the management zone is added to the temporal data and ingested into a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN). The output of the model is a prediction of the crop type grown in the management zone over the growing season. Furthermore, a notification can be sent to an agricultural grower or to third parties/stakeholders associated with the grower and/or the field, informing them of the crop classification prediction.
