Abstract

Indonesia is one of the largest countries globally with an area for planting sugarcane. The current problem is that determining the planting area of sugarcane is still done conventionally; this is very limited and wastes time. Thus, knowing the sugarcane planting area becomes essential for policymaking through Remote Sensing technology. However, the challenge of Remote Sensing is the limited data due to weather and the spectral variability of other plants. So, it is necessary to classify based on phenological knowledge. The study aims to classify sugarcane areas based on phenological knowledge using Remote Sensing and Machine Learning. This application finished on the cloud platform Google Earth Engine (GEE) through Landsat 8 satellite imagery data. The knowledge of sugarcane phenology was built based on the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) spectral value and built with the harmonic model. In addition, classification is accomplished by object-oriented (OO) methods for segmentation classification. Object-oriented is solved by the Simple Non-Iterative Clustering (SNIC) algorithm for spatial cluster identification, the Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) for texture extraction, and the Random Forest algorithm for Land Use-Land Cover (LULC) classification. The results of the accuracy analysis using the confusion matrix and the classification of sugar cane areas based on phenological knowledge obtained the best results with an overall accuracy of 95.9% with a Kappa coefficient of 0.92. It can be concluded that a classification approach with knowledge of plant phenology can help better classify the availability of land for plantations in the future.
