Cassava is currently the most important upland crop of Cambodia. It's an
agricultural product that can be process into various other products such as ethanol,
animal feed and cassava starch or flour for human consumptions. The objectives of
this research were to (1) classify the cassava plantation areas in Banteay Meanchey
Province, Cambodia using LANDSAT 8 (OLI) and SMMS (HJ-A1) images and (2)
compare the cassava plantation areas between LANDSAT 8 (OLI) and SMMS (HJA1). The Maximum likelihood classification technique was applied to this research.
Land use types were evaluated into seven classes: cassava, field crop, forest, water,
perennial tree/fruit tree, rice and urban.
The result found that the cassava areas from LANDSAT 8 (OLI) were
83757.37 hectares or 13.54 % of study areas. Meanwhile the cassava areas from
SMMS (HJ-A1) were 97,215.33 hectares or 15.72 % of study areas. The overall
accuracy of LANDSAT 8 (OLI) and SMMS (HJ-A1) was 81.48 % and 75.56 %
respectively. Therefore LANDSAT 8 (OLI) can be used to classify land use/land
cover with higher accuracy than SMMS (HJ-A1).
