Two main approaches are used in mapping rice paddy distribution from remote sensing images: phenological methods or machine learning methods. The phenological methods can map rice paddy distribution in a simple way but with limited accuracy. Machine learning, particularly deep learning, methods that learn the spectral signatures can achieve higher accuracy yet require a large number of field samples. This paper proposed a pheno-deep method to couple the simplicity of the phenological methods and the learning ability of the deep learning methods for mapping rice paddy at high accuracy without the need of field samples. The phenological method was first used to initially delineate the rice paddy for the purpose of creating training samples. These samples were then used to train the deep learning model. The trained deep learning model was applied to map the spatial distribution of rice paddy. The effectiveness of the pheno-deep method was evaluated in Jin'an District, Lu'an City, Anhui Province, China. Results show that the pheno-deep method achieved a high performance with the overall accuracy, the precision, the recall, and AUC (area under curve) being 88.8%, 87.2%, 91.1%, and 94.4%, respectively. The pheno-deep method achieved a much better performance than the phenological alone method and can overcome the noises in the training samples from the phenological method. The overall accuracy of the pheno-deep method is only 2.4% lower than that of the deep learning alone method trained with field samples and this difference is not statistically significant. In addition, the pheno-deep method requires no field sampling, which would be a noteworthy advantage for situations when large training samples are difficult to obtain. This study shows that by combining knowledge-based methods with data-driven methods, it is possible to achieve high mapping accuracy of geographic variables using remote sensing even with little field sampling efforts. |
