Comparing Deep Learning models for mapping rice cultivation area in Bhutan using high-resolution satellite imagery by Biplov Bhandari, Timothy Mayer

“…Among the U-Net model sets, the RGBN, RGBNE, RGBNS, and RGBNES models had an F1-score of 0.8546, 0.8563, 0.8467, and 0.8500 respectively. An additional independent model evaluation was performed and found a high level of performance variation across all the metrics (precision, recall, and F1-score) underscoring the need for practitioners to employ independent validation. …”
