Patent ID: 11755966

Abstract:
Detection of field irrigation through remote sensing is provided. In various embodiments, at least one time series of index rasters for a geographic region is read. A time series of weather data for the geographic region is read. The at least one time series of index rasters and the time series of weather data are divided into a plurality of time windows. The at least one time series of index rasters is composited within each of the plurality of time windows, yielding a composite index raster for each of the at least one time series of index rasters in each of the plurality of time windows. The time series of weather data is composited within each of the plurality of time windows, yielding composite weather data in each of the plurality of time windows. The composite index rasters and composite weather data are provided to a trained classifier. A pixel irrigation label for each pixel of the composite index rasters is obtained therefrom. Each pixel irrigation label indicates the presence or absence of irrigation at the associated pixel.
