Crop Residue Cover (CRC) is crucial for enhancing soil quality and mitigating erosion in agricultural fields. Accurately estimating CRC in near real-time presents challenges due to the limitations of traditional and remote sensing methods. This study addresses the challenge of accurately estimating CRC using unsupervised algorithms on high-resolution Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) imagery. We employ two methods to perform CRC estimation: (1) K-means unsupervised algorithm and (2) Principal Component Analysis (PCA) along with the Otsu thresholding technique. The advantages of these methods lie in their independence from human intervention for any supervised training stage. Additionally, these methods are rapid and suitable for near real-time estimation of CRC as a decision-making support in agricultural management. Our analysis reveals that the K-means method, with an R2=0.79, achieves superior accuracy in CRC estimation over the PCA-Otsu method with an R2=0.46. The accuracy of CRC estimation for both corn and soybean crops is significantly higher in winter than in spring, attributable to the more weathered state of crop residue. Furthermore, CRC estimations in corn fields exhibit a stronger correlation, likely due to the larger size of corn residue which enhances detectability in images. Nevertheless, the variance in CRC estimation accuracy between corn and soybean fields is minimal. Furthermore, CRC estimation achieves the highest correlation in no-till fields, while the lowest correlation is observed in conventionally tilled fields, a difference likely due to the soil disturbance during plowing in conventional tillage practices. |
