摘要

The vital role of agriculture in global economies and the sustainable development of societies is indisputable. In India, this importance is amplified as the agricultural sector serves as the economic backbone and lifeline for rural populations. This research delves into the realm of crop identification within Maharashtra’s agricultural landscape, with a specific focus on Sugarcane crops. By harnessing the power of Sentinel 2 satellite imagery and employing two popular machine learning algorithms—Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Random Forest (RF), the study aims to achieve precise and efficient crop classification. Through the integration of spectral signatures and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) values, the proposed machine learning models demonstrate an accuracy of around 83% in distinguishing Sugarcane crops. Extensive optimization and tuning are carried out to attain maximum classification precision, resulting in the successful classification of 50,000 randomly generated Ground Control Points (GCPs). By leveraging advanced technologies, this research underscores the potential of remote sensing and machine learning in revolutionizing crop monitoring, enhancing decision-making, and ensuring sustainable agricultural practices, especially within the context of sugarcane cultivation.
