This study assessed the performance of Sentinel-2 (S2) time series (spectral bands and vegetation indices), Sentinel-1 (S1) time series (backscattering coefficients and polarimetric parameters), alongside phenological features derived from both S1 and S2 time series (harmonic coefficients and median features), for classifying sunflower, soybean, and maize. Random Forest (RF), Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), and XGBoost classifiers were applied across various dataset configurations and train-test splits over two study sites and years in France. Additionally, the InceptionTime classifier, specifically designed for time series data, was tested exclusively with time series datasets to compare its performance against the three general machine learning algorithms (RF, XGBoost, and MLP). The results showed that XGBoost outperformed RF and MLP in classifying the three crops. The optimal dataset for mapping all three crops combined S1 backscattering coefficients with S2 vegetation indices, with comparable results between phenological features and time series data (mean F1 scores of 89.9% for sunflower, 76.6% for soybean, and 91.1% for maize). However, when using individual satellite sensors, S1 phenological features and time series outperformed S2 for sunflower, while S2 was superior for soybean and maize. Both phenological features and time series data produced close mean F1 scores across spatial, temporal, and spatiotemporal transfer scenarios, though median features dataset was the best choice for spatiotemporal transfer. Polarimetric S1 data did not yield effective results. The InceptionTime classifier further improved classification accuracy over XGBoost for all crops, with the degree of improvement varying by crop and dataset (the highest mean F1 scores of 90.6% for sunflower, 86.0% for soybean, and 93.5% for maize).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16234548","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,4]],"date-time":"2024-12-04T10:07:10Z","timestamp":1733306830000},"page":"4548","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Machine
