Abstract
This paper presents an approach to the classification of crop type using multi‐temporal airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data. Following radiometric correction of the data the accuracy of a per‐field crop classification reached 90% for three classes using data acquired on four dates. A comparable accuracy of 88% could be obtained for a classification of the same classes using data acquired on only two dates. Increasing the number of classes from three to seven reduced the classification accuracies to 55% and 69% when using data from two and four dates respectively.Keywords
