The information of crop-type area is more useful for food security than the earlier phenology stage is. Currently, data obtained from remote sensing (RS) are used to solve tasks related to the identification of the type of agricultural crops; additionally, modern technologies using AI methods are desired in the postprocessing stage. In this paper, we develop a methodology for the supervised classification of time series of Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-1 data, compare the accuracies based on different input datasets and find how the accuracy of classification develops during the season. In the EU, a unified Land Parcel Identification System (LPIS) is available to provide essential field borders. To increase usability, we also provide a classification of the entire field. This field classification also improves overall accuracy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14051095","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,24]],"date-time":"2022-02-24T00:53:26Z","timestamp":1645664006000},"page":"1095","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Crop Detection Using Time Series of Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-1 and Existing Land Parcel Information Systems"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Herman","family":"Snevajs","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Wirelessinfo, Cholinska 1048\/19, 784 01 Litovel, Czech Republic"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7678-8437","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karel","family":"Charvat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wirelessinfo, Cholinska 1048\/19, 784 01 Litovel, Czech Republic"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1867-6693","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vincent","family":"Onckelet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Plan4all z.s., K Rybn\u00ed\u010dku 557, 330 12 Horn\u00ed B\u0159\u00edza, Czech Republic"}]},{"given":"Jiri","family":"Kvapil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lesprojekt, Martinov 197, 277 13 Z\u00e1ryby, Czech Republic"}]},{"given":"Frantisek","family":"Zadrazil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lesprojekt, Martinov 197, 277 13 Z\u00e1ryby, Czech Republic"}]},{"given":"Hana","family":"Kubickova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Plan4all z.s., K Rybn\u00ed\u010dku 557, 330 12 Horn\u00ed B\u0159\u00edza, Czech Republic"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9289-2912","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jana","family":"Seidlova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lesprojekt, Martinov 197, 277 13 Z\u00e1ryby, Czech Republic"}]},{"given":"Iva","family":"Batrlova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lesprojekt, Martinov 197, 277 13 Z\u00e1ryby, Czech Republic"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"\u0160af\u00e1\u0159, V., Charv\u00e1t, K., Hor\u00e1kov\u00e1, \u0160., Orlickas, T., Rimgaila, M., Kolitzus, D., and Bye, B.L.
