El partido de Coronel Rosales (Buenos Aires, Argentina) se halla localizado dentro de la región pampeana austral, una de las de mayor relevancia agro productiva del país. En este contexto, el conocimiento de la superficie cultivada adquiere significativa importancia para la posterior planificación agrícola y económica. En tal sentido, la discriminación de cultivos mediante teledetección se dificulta cuando se trata de los de ciclo fenológico muy similar, como el trigo y la cebada. En este estudio se realizó una discriminación de dichos cultivos empleando imágenes de Radar de Apertura Sintética (SAR) Sentinel-1A SLC, imágenes ópticas Sentinel-2 y una combinación de ambos tipos de datos. Se incorporaron medidas de coherencia, textura e intensidad de retrodispersión extraídas de los datos SAR durante el ciclo fenológico completo. Sobre cada escena Sentinel-2 se obtuvo el Índice de Diferencia Normalizada de Vegetación (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index - NDVI). Se emplearon tres algoritmos de clasificación: Máxima Verosimilitud (Maximum Likelihood - MLC), Máquinas de Soporte Vectorial (Support Vector Machines - SVM) y Random Forest (RF). Los mejores resultados se obtuvieron al combinar imágenes ópticas y SAR empleando el clasificador RF. La combinación de las retrodispersiones VV y VH junto a la coherencia y la textura de las imágenes SAR, sumada al apilado de NDVI de imágenes ópticas, arrojó los máximos valores de precisión de la clasificación. El valor de F1 fue de 87.27% para el trigo y de 89.20% para la cebada.

The Marina area represents an official new gateway of entry to Egypt and the development of infrastructure is proceeding rapidly in this region. The objective of this research is to obtain building data by means of automated extraction from Pléiades satellite images. This is due to the need for efficient mapping and updating of geodatabases for urban planning and touristic development. It compares the performance of random forest algorithm to other classifiers like maximum likelihood, support vector machines, and backpropagation neural networks over the well-organized buildings which appeared in the satellite images. Images were subsequently classified into two classes: buildings and non-buildings. In addition, basic morphological operations such as opening and closing were used to enhance the smoothness and connectedness of the classified imagery.The overall accuracy for random forest, maximum likelihood, support vector machines, and backpropagation were 97%, 95%, 93% and 92% respectively. It was found that random forest was the best option, followed by maximum likelihood, while the least effective was the backpropagation neural network. The completeness and correctness of the detected buildings were evaluated. Experiments confirmed that the four classification methods can effectively and accurately detect 100% of buildings from very high-resolution images. It is encouraged to use machine learning algorithms for object detection and extraction from very high-resolution images.

Abstract. The current study focuses on the estimation of cloud-free Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) using the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) observations obtained from Sentinel-1 (A and B) sensor. South-West Summer Monsoon over the Indian sub-continent lasts for four months (mid-June to mid-October). During this time, optical remote sensing observations are affected by dense cloud cover. Therefore, there is a need for methodology to estimate state of vegetation during the cloud cover. The crops considered in this study are Paddy (Rice) from Punjab and Haryana, whereas Cotton, Turmeric, and Banana from Andhra Pradesh, India. We have considered, observations of Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 sensors with the same overpass day and non-cloudy pixels for each crop. We used Google Earth Engine to extract surface reflectance for the Sentinel-2 and Ground Range Detected (GRD) backscatter for Sentinel-1. The Red and NIR bands of Sentinel 2 were used to estimate NDVI. Sentinel-1 based VV, and VH backscatter was used for estimation of Normalized Ratio Procedure between Bands (NRPB). Regression analysis was performed by using NDVI as an independent variable, and VV, VH, NRPB, and radar incidence angle as dependant variables. We evaluated the performance of Linear regression with tuned Support Vector Regression (SVR) as well as tuned Random Forest Regression (RFR) using the independent data. Results showed that the RFR produced the lowest RMSE for all the crops in the study. The average RMSE using the RFR was 0.08, 0.09, 0.11, and 0.10 for Rice, Cotton, Banana, and Turmeric, respectively. Similarly, we have obtained R2 values of 0.79, 0.76, 0.69, and 0.71 for the same crops using the RFR. A model with 80 trees produced the best results for Rice and Cotton, whereas the model with 90 trees produced the best results for Banana and Turmeric. Analysis with NDVI threshold of 0.25 showed improved R2 and RMSE. We found that for grown crop canopy, SAR based NDVI estimates are reasonably matching with the optical NDVI. A good agreement was observed between the actual and estimated NDVI using the tuned RFR model.

Context: Nowadays, the images of the Earth surface and the algorithms for their classification are widely available. In particular, the algorithms are promising in the differentiating of cotton crops stages, but it is necessary to establish the capabilities of the different algorithms in order to identify their advantages, and disadvantages. Method: This paper describes the assessment process in which the Support Vector Machines (SVM) and random-forest technique (decision trees) are compared with the maximum likelihood estimation when differentiating the stages of cotton crops. A RapidEye satellite image of a geographic area in the municipality of San Pelayo, Cordoba (Colombia), is used for the study. Using a set of sampling polygons, a random sample of 6000 pixels was taken (2000 training and 4000 for validating the classifications.) Confusion matrices, and R (data processing and analysis software) were used during the validation process Results: The maximun likelihood estimation presented a correct classification percentage of 68.95%. SVM correctly classified 81.325% of the cases and the decision trees correctly classified 78.925%. The confidence test for the classifications showed non-overlapping intervals, and SVM obtained the highest values. Conclusions: It was possible to confirm the superiority of the technique based on support vector machines for the proposed verification zones. However, this technique requires a number of classes that comprehensively represent the variations of the image (in order to guarantee a minimum number of support vectors) to avoid confusion in the classification of non-sampled areas. This was less evident in the other two classification techniques analysed.


Prediction of stock markets is the act of attempting to determine the future value of an inventory of a business or other financial instrument traded on an economic exchange.Effectively foreseeing the future cost of a stock will amplify the benefits of the financial specialist.This article suggests a model of machine learning to forecast the price of the stock market.During the way toward considering various techniques and factors that should be considered, we found that strategy, for example, random forest, support vector machines were not completely used in past structures. In this article, we will present and audit an increasingly suitable strategy for anticipating more prominent exactness stock oscillations.The primary thing we thought about was the securities exchange estimating informational index from yahoo stocks. We will audit the utilization of random forest after pre-handling the data, help the vector machine on the informational index and the outcomes it produces.The powerful stock gauge will be a superb resource for financial exchange associations and will give genuine options in contrast to the difficulties confronting the stock speculator.

Online media has progressively obtained integral to the route billions of individuals experience news and occasions, frequently bypassing writers—the conventional guardians of breaking news. Occasions,in reality, make a relating spike of posts (tweets) on Twitter. This projects a great deal of significance on the validity of data found via online media stages like Twitter. We have utilized different managed learning techniques like Naïve Bayes, Decision Trees, and Support Vector Machines on the information to separate tweets among genuine and counterfeit news. For our AI models, we have utilized tweet and client highlights as our indicators. We accomplished a precision of 88% utilizing the Random Forest classifier and 88% utilizing the Decision tree. Notwithstanding, we accept that breaking down client records would build the accuracy of our models.
