With the rapid advancement of remote sensing technology is that the need for efficient and accurate crop classification methods has become increasingly important. This is due to the ever-growing demand for food security and environmental monitoring. Traditional crop classification methods have limitations in terms of accuracy and scalability, especially when dealing with large datasets of high-resolution remote sensing images. This study aims to develop a novel crop classification technique, named Dipper Throated Optimization with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks based Crop Classification (DTODCNN-CC) for analyzing remote sensing images. The objective is to achieve high classification accuracy for various food crops. The proposed DTODCNN-CC approach consists of the following key components. Deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) a GoogleNet architecture is employed to extract robust feature vectors from the remote sensing images. The Dipper throated optimization (DTO) optimizer is used for hyper parameter tuning of the GoogleNet model to achieve optimal feature extraction performance. Extreme Learning Machine (ELM): This machine learning algorithm is utilized for the classification of different food crops based on the extracted features. The modified sine cosine algorithm (MSCA) optimization technique is used to fine-tune the parameters of ELM for improved classification accuracy. Extensive experimental analyses are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed DTODCNN-CC approach. The results demonstrate that DTODCNN-CC can achieve significantly higher crop classification accuracy compared to other state-of-the-art deep learning methods. The proposed DTODCNN-CC technique provides a promising solution for efficient and accurate crop classification using remote sensing images. This approach has the potential to be a valuable tool for various applications in agriculture, food security, and environmental monitoring.
