Developments in space-based hyperspectral sensors, advanced remote sensing, and machine learning can help crop yield measurement, modelling, prediction, and crop monitoring for loss prevention and global food security. However, precise and continuous spectral signatures, important for large-area crop growth monitoring and early prediction of yield production with cutting-edge algorithms, can be only provided via hyperspectral imaging. Therefore, this article used new-generation Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt Earth Sensing Imaging Spectrometer (DESIS) images to classify the main crop types (hybrid corn, soybean, sunflower, and winter wheat) in Mezőhegyes (southeastern Hungary). A Wavelet-attention convolutional neural network (WA-CNN), random forest and support vector machine (SVM) algorithms were utilized to automatically map the crops over the agricultural lands. The best accuracy was achieved with the WA-CNN, a feature-based deep learning algorithm and a combination of two images with overall accuracy (OA) value of 97.89%and the user's accuracy producer's accuracy was from 97% to 99%. To obtain this, first, factor analysis was introduced to decrease the size of the hyperspectral image data cube. A wavelet transform was applied to extract important features and combined with the spectral attention mechanism CNN to gain higher accuracy in mapping crop types. Followed by SVM algorithm reported OA of 87.79%, with the producer's and user's accuracies of its classes ranging from 79.62% to 96.48% and from 79.63% to 95.73%, respectively. These results demonstrate the potentiality of DESIS data to observe the growth of different crop types and predict the harvest volume, which is crucial for farmers, smallholders, and decision-makers.
In recent years, national economies are highly affected by Crop Yield Predictions. By early prediction, the market price can be predicted, importing and exporting plan can be provided, social and economic effects of waste products can be minimized, and a program can be presented for humanitarian food aid. In addition, agricultural fields are constantly growing to generate products required. The use of machine learning methods in this sector can lead to the efficient production and highquality agricultural products. Traditional predictive machine models were unable to find non-linear relationships between data. Recently, there has been a revolution in prediction systems via the advancement of machine learning which can be used to achieve highly accurate decision-making networks. Thus far, many strategies have been used to evaluate agricultural products, such as DeepYield, CNN-LSTM, and ConvLSTM. However, preferable prediction accuracy is required. In this study, two architectures have been proposed. The first model includes 2D-CNN, skip connections, and LSTM-Attentions. The second model comprises 3D-CNN, skip connections, and ConvLSTM Attention. The Input data given from MODIS products such as Land-Cover, Surface-Temperature, and MODIS-Land-surface from 2003 to 2018 on the county level over 1800 counties where soybean is mainly cultivated in the USA. The proposed methods have been compared with the most recent models. Then, the results showed that the second proposed method notably outperformed the other techniques. In case of MAE, the second proposed method,
