However, such training datasets are not always available in practice. The sample migration method has shown remarkable success in addressing this challenge in recent years. This work investigated the application of Sentinel-1 (S1) and Sentinel-2 (S2) data in training sample migration. In addition, the impact of various spectral bands and polarizations on the accuracy of the migrated training samples was also assessed. Subsequently, combined S1 and S2 images were classified using the Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Random Forest (RF) classifiers to produce annual LC maps from 2017 to 2021. The results showed a higher accuracy (98.25%) in training sample migrations using both images in comparison to using S1 (87.68%) and S2 (96.82%) data independently. Among the LC classes, the highest accuracy in migrated training samples was found for water, built-up, bare land, grassland, cropland, and wetland. Inquiries on the efficiency of different spectral bands and polarization used in training sample migration showed that bands 4 and 8 and VV polarization in the water class were more important, while for the wetland class, bands 5, 6, 7, 8, and 8A together with VV polarization showed superior performance. The results showed that the RF classifier provided better performance than the SVM (higher overall, producer, and user accuracy). Overall, our findings suggested that shared use of S1 and S2 data can be used as a suitable means for producing up-to-date and high-quality training samples.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16091566","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,29]],"date-time":"2024-04-29T04:26:16Z","timestamp":1714364776000},"page":"1566","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Integration of Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 Data for Ground Truth Sample Migration for Multi-Temporal Land Cover Mapping"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0411-493X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Meysam","family":"Moharrami","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Remote Sensing and GIS, Faculty of Geography, University of Tehran, Tehran 1417853933, Iran"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7458-4980","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sara","family":"Attarchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Remote Sensing and GIS, Faculty of Geography, University of Tehran, Tehran 1417853933, Iran"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4383-473X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Richard","family":"Gloaguen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), Helmholtz Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology (HiF), 09599 Freiberg, Germany"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3554-111X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seyed Kazem","family":"Alavipanah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Remote Sensing and GIS, Faculty of Geography, University of Tehran, Tehran 1417853933, Iran"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4391","DOI":"10.1007\/s10708-021-10465-8","article-title":"Analysis of Landuse and Landcover Changes in Kashmir Valley, India\u2014A Review","volume":"87","author":"Ahmed","year":"2022","journal-title":"GeoJournal"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"47","DOI":"10.1007\/s10584-009-9556-8","article-title":"Recent Land Cover Changes on the Tibetan Plateau: A Review","volume":"94","author":"Cui","year":"2009","journal-title":"Clim.
