In order to grasp the balance between supply and demands of vegetables such as cabbage, lettuce and Chinese cabbage which are produced on a large scale, forecast of their harvest time and area is a problem to be awaiting solution in Japan. This study proposed an approach of forecasting the harvest time and area of cabbage by using SPOT images in Tsumagoi country and discussed practical application to provide forecasting information. Firstly, cabbages field-based were extracted by the proposed post-classification method using the field polygon data. The field polygon data is a section of cultivated field which was interpreted from the digital aerial photography. Next, the pixel-based cabbages harvest time was estimated for extracted cabbage fields from the profiles of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) corresponding to cabbage growing and relationship between NDVI and harvest date.
