At present, temporal land cover and crop classifications within a study area have neglected the differences between subregions. In this paper, we propose a classification rule by integrating the terrain, time series characteristics, priority, and seasonality (TTPSR) with Sentinel-2 satellite imagery. Based on the time series of Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) and Vegetation Index (NDVI), a dynamic decision tree for forests, cultivation, urban, and water was created in Google Earth Engine (GEE) for each subregion to extract cultivated land. Then, with or without this cultivated land mask data, the original classification results for each subregion were completed based on composite image acquisition with five vegetation indices using Random Forest. During the post-reclassification process, a 4-bit coding rule based on terrain, type, seasonal rhythm, and priority was generated by analyzing the characteristics of the original results. Finally, statistical results and temporal mapping were processed. The results showed that feature importance was dominated by B2, NDWI, RENDVI, B11, and B12 over winter, and B11, B12, NDBI, B2, and B8A over summer. Meanwhile, the cultivated land mask improved the overall accuracy for multicategories (seven to eight and nine to 13 during winter and summer, respectively) in each subregion, with average ranges in the overall accuracy for winter and summer of 0.857\u20130.935 and 0.873\u20130.963, respectively, and kappa coefficients of 0.803\u20130.902 and 0.835\u20130.950, respectively. The analysis of the above results and the comparison with resampling plots identified various sources of error for classification accuracy, including spectral differences, degree of field fragmentation, and planting complexity. The results demonstrated the capability of the TTPSR rule in temporal land use mapping, especially with regard to complex crops classification and automated post-processing, thereby providing a viable option for large-scale land use mapping.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13132517","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,27]],"date-time":"2021-06-27T23:57:22Z","timestamp":1624838242000},"page":"2517","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Feature Fusion Approach for Temporal Land Use Mapping in Complex Agricultural Areas"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Lijun","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Henan Industrial Technology Academy of Spatio-Temporal Big Data, Henan University, Kaifeng 475004, China"},{"name":"College of Geography and Environmental Science, Henan University, Kaifeng 475004, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Geospatial Technology for the Middle and Lower Yellow River Regions, Ministry of Education, Henan University, Kaifeng 475004, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiayao","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Henan Industrial Technology Academy of Spatio-Temporal Big Data, Henan University, Kaifeng 475004, China"},{"name":"College of Geography and Environmental Science, Henan University, Kaifeng 475004, China"},{"name":"Henan Technology Innovation Center of Spatial-Temporal Big Data, Henan University, Kaifeng 475004, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fen","family":"Qin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Henan Industrial Technology Academy of Spatio-Temporal Big Data, Henan University, Kaifeng 475004, China"},{"name":"College of Geography and Environmental Science, Henan University, Kaifeng 475004, China"},{"name":"Henan Technology Innovation Center of Spatial-Temporal Big Data, Henan University, Kaifeng 475004, China"},{"name":"Key Research Institute of Yellow River Civilization and Sustainable Development, Ministry of Education, Henan University, Kaifeng 475004, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2020, November 12).
