Development of LR-PCA Based Fusion Approach to Detect the Changes in Mango Fruit Crop by Using Landsat 8 OLI Images

Abstract

Change detection (CD) is the process of detecting changes from multi-temporal satellite images that have undergone spatial changes due to natural phenomena and/or human-induced activities. Mango is a major fruit crop in India, but detection of changes in mango crops remains a challenging task because the reason that many perennial crops have similar reflectance profiles. Therefore, a potent change detection technique is required for different applications such as the rate of deforestation, urban developments, damage evaluation, and resource monitoring. Compared to annual and seasonal crops, relatively few studies have been conducted on change detection in perennial fruit crops. In this study, a novel change detection technique (i.e., LR-PCA) is developed using the fusion of log-ratio (LR) and principal component analysis (PCA) images derived from bi-temporal soil adjusted vegetation index (SAVI) images to extract meaningful information and detect temporal changes in the mango fruit crop areas with high change detection accuracy. The proposed approach comprised two steps: (1) SAVI images from 2015 and 2019 were used to retrieve the log-ratio (LR) and principal component (PC) images, respectively, and both the images were fused by applying the pixel-by-pixel fusion approach. (2) Fused images were classified into three classes: "positive change", "no change", and "negative change" using a derived threshold value. The results show that the LR-PCA method of change detection yields a high change detection accuracy of 92% in comparison with the other change detection methods viz. vegetation image differencing, image ratioing, PCA, and log-ratio. To validate the adaptability of the proposed algorithm, experiments with two sets of bi-temporal SAVI indices images belonging to the Sitapur district of Uttar Pradesh State determine that the proposed change detection method performs well as compared to the existing individual methods for detection of changes in mango fruit crop. The proposed method is expected to be useful for detecting changes in the area of perennial crops. In the future, an accurate and efficient change detection analysis may be helpful for developing a real-time mango fruit crop monitoring system at the national level.INDEX TERMS Landsat 8 OLI, change detection, log ratio, principal component analysis, mango crop.

The impact of variable illumination on vegetation indices and evaluation of illumination correction methods on chlorophyll content estimation using UAV imagery

“…Vegetation indices, which are important features for remote sensing, are frequently used in satellite images for detecting changes in crops [ 26 ]. Besides, with the development of UAV technology, a range of RGB-based vegetation indices have also been developed for UAV images.…”

Devising of an Efficient Multi-parametric System for Prediction of Crop Yield using Augmented Incremental Machine & Deep Learning Operations

“…They can provide insight into physiological processes and simulate the effects of management practices. Nevertheless, these models frequently demand extensive input data and parameterization, which can be difficult to obtain for different use cases [25,26,27,28,29]. They can also be computationally demanding and calibration requires expert knowledge levels [30,31,32,33,34].…”

Classifying Parkinson’s Disease Using Resting State Electroencephalogram Signals and U EN -PDNet

“…It deprives the patient of cardinal motor activities, including cognitive and speech control too [3]. Some early signs tell about the beginning of neurodegeneration; however, PD is generally signified by two broad classes of symptoms, wittingly, motor and non-motor symptoms [3] [4]. Non-motor symptoms include a lot of indications, but the major contributor towards the diagnosis or prognosis of PD is the Motor Symptoms in contrast with neuroimaging techniques [5].…”

“…Analyzing these signal reflexes paves the way for detecting the difficulty in executing particular motor actions. As is though, they are used for detecting some major neurological disorders, including Epileptic disorders, Schizophrenia, Alzheimer and PD [8] [4] [14]. To translate these signals appropriately, different techniques are used.…”
