Abstract

The paper describes the segmentation of Sentinel-2 satellite images based on derived vegetation indices in order to map stress-affected regions of agricultural land. The database consists of a time series of multispectral images of 48 agricultural parcels in Vojvodina. The time series includes images for 13 dates in the period from March to September 2020. Three segmentation methods were applied: threshold segmentation, segmentation using the k-means algorithm, and segmentation using the pyImSegm library. The first damaged area was not successfully detected by segmentation with the first method, while the other two methods showed a good ability to map less developed regions.
