<abstract>
<p>The classification of agricultural crop types is an important application of remote sensing. With the improvement in spatial, temporal and spectral resolution of satellite data, a complete seasonal crop growth profile and separability between different crop classes can be studied by using ensemble-learning techniques. This study compares the performance of Random Forest (RF), which is a decision tree based ensemble learning method and Naïve Bayes ( a probabilistic learning technique) for crop classification of &lt;i&gt;Lekoda&lt;/i&gt; gram panchayat, &lt;i&gt;Ujjain&lt;/i&gt; district, using multi-temporal Sentinel 2 of Rabi 2017&amp;ndash;18. The study area contains seven different classes of crop types, and in each class, we have used 65% of the ground data for training and 35% to test the classifier. The performance of RF classifier was found to be better than NB classifier. Kappa coefficient of RF classifier in mid of the crop season (December&amp;ndash;January) was found to be 0.93. This result indicates that an accurate in-season crop map of the study area can be generated through integrated use of Sentinel 2 temporal data and RF classifier.</p>
