Abstract
In an approach for identifying a crop using satellite observation data and crop rotation data, a processor receives an aerial image of one or more agricultural fields in a pre-determined geographical region from an optical satellite. A processor selects a plurality of points from the aerial image. A processor clips the aerial image into one or more smaller images to generate one or more observed signatures. A processor determines there is a change in a spatial distribution of one or more crops. A processor generates an actual signature from the one or more observed signatures. A processor cross-correlates the actual signature against a plurality of historical reference signatures to determine a degree of similarity. A processor ranks one or more results of the cross-correlation. A processor identifies the one or more crops. A processor calculates a first estimate of an amount of the one or more crops.
