Remote sensing includes all types of non-contact. surveys that are carried out from various measuring platforms. The tasks in this area are the following: inventory of agricultural land, control of the state of crops, forecasting yields. The aim of the work is to classify 6 types of crop images (wheat, rice, sugarcane, corn, cotton and jute) with greater accuracy. The paper considers an algorithm for primary processing and recognition of images of agricultural crops and algorithms for constructing a neural network for initial processing and recognition of images to solve problems of noise elimination, minimization, smoothing, normalization, segmentation and image recognition.
