Abstract

A new segmentation method is applied to different types and combinations of optical data and radar data over an agricultural area. The images, which were of different resolution, have been co-registered in order to make a qualitative comparison of the segmented data possible. Comparison of the segmentation results on optical and radar images is done using ground truth for certain crops
