With the increasing availability and volume of remote sensing data, imaging spectroscopy is an expanding tool for agricultural studies. One of the fundamental applications in agricultural research is crop mapping and classification. Previous studies have mostly focused at local to regional scales, and classifications were usually performed for a limited number of crop types. Leveraging fine spatial resolution (60 cm) imaging spectroscopy data collected by the Global Airborne Observatory (GAO), we investigated canopy-level spectral variations in 16 crop species from different agricultural regions in the U.S. Inter-specific differences were quantified through principal component analysis (PCA) of crop spectra and their Euclidean distances in the PC space. We also classified the crop species using support vector machines (SVM), demonstrating high classification accuracy with a test kappa of 0.97. A separate test with an independent dataset also returned high accuracy (kappa = 0.95). Classification using full reflectance spectral data (320 bands) and selected optimal wavebands from the literature resulted in similar classification accuracies. We demonstrated that classification involving diverse crop species is achievable, and we encourage further testing based on moderate spatial resolution imaging spectrometer data.
