SSG-4 - An automated spring small grains proportion estimatorIn connection with an implementation of the classification procedures employed in the Large Area Crop Inventory Experiment (LACIE), a human analyst had to provide labeled samples. The present investigation is concerned with an automated proportion estimation procedure which has been derived from the early field-labeling procedures used in LACIE. This procedure was developed for the U.S./Canada Spring Small Grains Pilot Experiment. It is demonstrated that the considered spatial/color-based proportion estimation procedure provides the agricultural remote-sensing community with the basic tools to develop unbiased and highly efficient procedures for obtaining crop area estimates at the end of the season.
