For the accurate mapping of crop types at the regional scale, this paper proposed a crop type mapping method based on the combination of multiple single-temporal feature images and time-series feature images derived from Sentinel-1 (SAR) and Sentinel-2 (optical) satellite imagery on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. Firstly, crop type classification was performed separately using multiple single-temporal feature images and the time-series feature image. Secondly, with the help of information entropy, this study proposed a pixel-scale crop type classification accuracy evaluation metric, i.e., the CA-score, which was used to conduct a vote on the classification results of multiple single-temporal images and the time-series feature image to obtain the final crop type map. A comparative analysis showed that the proposed classification method had excellent performance and that it can achieve accurate mapping of multiple crop types at a 10 m resolution for large spatial scales. The overall accuracy (OA) and the kappa coefficient (KC) were 84.15% and 0.80, respectively. Compared with the classification results that were based on the time-series feature image, the OA was improved by 3.37%, and the KC was improved by 0.03. In addition, the CA-score proposed in this study can effectively reflect the accuracy of crop identification and can serve as a pixel-scale classification accuracy evaluation metric, providing a more comprehensive visual interpretation of the classification accuracy. The proposed method and metrics have the potential to be applied to the mapping of larger study areas with more complex land cover types using remote sensing.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15092466","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,8]],"date-time":"2023-05-08T03:34:53Z","timestamp":1683516893000},"page":"2466","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["A New Method for Crop Type Mapping at the Regional Scale Using Multi-Source and Multi-Temporal Sentinel Imagery"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Xiaohu","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Resources and Environmental Information Systems, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"},{"name":"College of Resources and Environment, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shifeng","family":"Fang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Resources and Environmental Information Systems, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5245-4395","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yichen","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Resources and Environmental Information Systems, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"},{"name":"College of Resources and Environment, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiaqiang","family":"Du","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Ecological Environment Research, Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences, Beijing 100012, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Environmental Criteria and Risk Assessment, Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences, Beijing 100012, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5982-8422","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hua","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Resources and Environmental Information Systems, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization (2023, April 28).
