Rice crop detection using LSTM, Bi-LSTM, and machine learning models from sentinel-1 time series

The Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) time series allows describing the rice phenological cycle by the backscattering time signature. Therefore, the advent of the Copernicus Sentinel-1 program expands studies of radar data (C-band) for rice monitoring at regional scales, due to the high temporal resolu...

Rice crop detection using LSTM, Bi-LSTM, and machine learning models from sentinel-1 time series
