Özet
Accurate mapping of crop types is essential for agricultural monitoring, resource management, and food security. This study evaluates the performance of two ensemble machine learning algorithms—random forest (RF) and gradient tree boosting (GTB)—for classifying potato fields using multispectral satellite imagery from Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2 in the Konya Plain, Türkiye. The methodology involved generating median composite images from the 2020 growing season (June–August), followed by feature extraction from training samples collected via ground truth, satellite, and synthetically generated data. Model performances were assessed using overall accuracy, kappa coefficient, F-score, and user’s and producer’s accuracy metrics. Five-fold cross-validation was employed to evaluate model generalizability. A sensitivity analysis was conducted on the number of trees, and 100 was selected for model training …
