Özet

It is very important to determine the crops in the agricultural field in a short time and accurately. Thanks to the satellite images obtained from remote sensing sensors, information can be obtained on many subjects such as the detection and development of agricultural products and annual product forecasting. In this study, it is aimed to automatically detect agricultural crops (corn and cotton) by using Sentinel-1 and Landsat-8 satellite image indexes via a new deep learning approach (Deep Transformer Encoder). This work was carried out in several stages, respectively. In the first stage, a pilot area was determined to obtain Sentinel-1 and Landsat-8 satellite images of agricultural crops used in this study. In the second stage, the coordinates of 100 sample points from this pilot area were taken with the help of GPS and these coordinates were then transferred to Sentinel-1 and Landsat-8 satellite images. In the next step, reflection and backscattering values were obtained from the pixels of the satellite images corresponding to the sample points of these agricultural crops. While creating the data sets of satellite images, the months of June, July, August and September for the years 2016–2021, when the development and harvesting times of agricultural products are close to each other, were preferred. The image data set used in the study consists of a total of 434 images for Sentinel-1 satellite and a total of 693 images for Landsat-8. At the last stage, the datasets obtained from different satellite images were evaluated in three different categories for crop identification with the aid of Deep Transformer Encoder approach. These are: (1-) Crop identification with only Sentinel-1 dataset, (2-) Crop identification only with Landsat-8 dataset, (3-) Crop identification with both Sentinel-1 and Landsat-8 datasets. The results showed that 85%, 95% and 87.5% accuracy values were obtained from the band parameters of Sentinel-1 dataset, Landsat-8 dataset and Sentinel-1&Landsat-8 datasets, respectively
