Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellites provide us with the opportunity to monitor crop phenology at a high spatial resolution with high accuracy. The main objective of this study was to examine the potential of the Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data and their combination for monitoring sugarcane phenological stages and evaluate the temporal behaviour of Sentinel-1 parameters and Sentinel-2 indices. Seven machine learning models, namely logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, artificial neural network, support vector machine, na\u00efve Bayes, and fuzzy rule based systems, were implemented, and their predictive performance was compared. Accuracy, precision, specificity, sensitivity or recall, F score, area under curve of receiver operating characteristic and kappa value were used as performance metrics. The research was carried out in the Indo-Gangetic alluvial plains in the districts of Hisar and Jind, Haryana, India. The Sentinel-1 backscatters and parameters VV, alpha and anisotropy and, among Sentinel-2 indices, normalized difference vegetation index and weighted difference vegetation index were found to be the most important features for predicting sugarcane phenology. The accuracy of models ranged from 40 to 60%, 56 to 84% and 76 to 88% for Sentinel-1 data, Sentinel-2 data and combined data, respectively. Area under the ROC curve and kappa values also supported the supremacy of the combined use of Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data. This study infers that combined Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data are more efficient in predicting sugarcane phenology than Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 alone.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14143249","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,6]],"date-time":"2022-07-06T21:15:52Z","timestamp":1657142152000},"page":"3249","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Machine Learning Techniques for Phenology Assessment of Sugarcane Using Conjunctive SAR and Optical Data"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8713-8189","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Md","family":"Yeasin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ICAR-Indian Agricultural Statistics Research Institute, New Delhi 110012, India"}]},{"given":"Dipanwita","family":"Haldar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Indian Institute of Remote Sensing, Uttarakhand 248001, India"}]},{"given":"Suresh","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Indian Institute of Remote Sensing, Uttarakhand 248001, India"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1045-8504","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ranjit Kumar","family":"Paul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ICAR-Indian Agricultural Statistics Research Institute, New Delhi 110012, India"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8002-2506","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sonaka","family":"Ghosh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ICAR-Research Complex for Eastern Region, Patna 800014, India"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2022, May 26).
