Abstract

Monitoring changes in paddy areas is important for economic and environmental research, since rice is a staple food in Asia and paddy agriculture is a major cropping system. Recently, remote sensing has been used to observe changes in the areas of paddy. However, monitoring paddy areas by remote sensing is difficult owing to the temporal changes in paddy, and the differences in the spatiotemporal characteristics of paddy agriculture between countries or regions. In our previous research using a multilayered perceptron and spatiotemporal satellite sensor data, the proposed classifier yielded a correct classification rate of 90.8%. In this article, we proposed a cooperative learning method using particle swarm optimization as the global search method and a multilayered perceptron as the local search method in order to improve the classification accuracy for practical use.
