Özet

In this study, the wheat (triticum) and barley (hordeum) planted areas in the province of Adana were determined by using Landsat-5 TM data in 1991. To classify the wheat and barley fields in this region, Landsat bands 3, 4 and 5 were used. Reflectance distribution in these bands has been expected to have an ellipsoidal shape, and a method was developed to make classification for such distribution. To check the accuracy of the classification, test areas in the province were selected and the classification results were compared with ground-truth. Consequently, it was found that the error estimated wheat and barley planted areas was around 15% and the results of the acreage estimation for wheat and barley fields were 218 000 +/- 32 000 hectare in 1991.
