The EcoCropsAID dataset, comprising aerial images of five key economic crops in Thailand, presents significant challenges for land use classification due to variations in image quality and similarities between different crop categories, creating opportunities for developing novel deep learning algorithms.
This paper introduces a novel deep learning model, SpecSAR-Former, and a new dataset, Dynamic World+, for more accurate and efficient global land use and land cover (LULC) mapping by integrating Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellite data.
