Near real-time mapping of jute (C<i>orchorus</i> sp.) area using multi-temporal Sentinel-1 intensity data over the central part of West Bengal, India

The present study aimed to develop a methodology estimate jute (Corchorus sp.) cultivated areas in the Indian subcontinent using sentinel-1A Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) C band dual polarization data. We developed hierarchical decision tree (DT) model area and compared it with other supervised unsupervised methods. proposed DT showed improved overall accuracy of 82–83% (Kappa coefficient, k = 0.78–0.79) over or methods validated against Directorate Economics Statistics (DES) data, Government India during 2016–2019.
