Abstract
The accurate extraction of cropland distribution is an important issue for precision agriculture and food security worldwide. The complex characteristics in southern China pose great challenges to the extraction. In this study, for the objective of accurate extraction and mapping of cropland parcels in multiple crop growth stages in southern China, we explored a method based on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) data and deep learning algorithms. Our method considered cropland size, cultivation patterns, spectral characteristics, and the terrain of the study area. From two aspects—model architecture of deep learning and the data form of UAV—four groups of experiments are performed to explore the optimal method for the extraction of cropland parcels in southern China. The optimal result obtained in October 2021 demonstrated an overall accuracy (OA) of 95.9%, a Kappa coefficient of 89.2%, and an Intersection-over-Union (IoU) of 95.7%. The optimal method also showed remarkable results in the maps of cropland distribution in multiple crop growth stages, with an average OA of 96.9%, an average Kappa coefficient of 89.5%, and an average IoU of 96.7% in August, November, and December of the same year. This study provides a valuable reference for the extraction of cropland parcels in multiple crop growth stages in southern China or regions with similar characteristics.
