Abstract

This report describes a comparative study in which a unitemporal approach for obtaining crop area estimates using ground-gathered and LANDSAT data was compared to a multitemporal approach. Four channel data were used for the unitemporal approach. Eight channel data consisting of four channels from each of two dates were used for the multitemporal approach. The multitemporal data set and the two corresponding unitemporal data sets were analyzed using various procedures. Results indicated that the use of multitemporal data can significantly improve the precision of crop area estimates for corn, soybeans, and winter wheat, obtained using the unitemporal approach.
