Crop type classification using remote sensing data plays a vital role in planning cultivation activities and for optimal usage of the available fertile land. Thus a reliable and precise classification of agricultural crops can help improve agricultural productivity. Hence in this paper a gene expression programming based fuzzy logic approach for multi-class crop classification using Multispectral satellite image is proposed. the purpose of this work is to utilize the optimization capabilities of GEP for tuning the fuzzy membership functions. the capabilities of GEP as a classifier is also studied. the proposed method is compared to Bayesian and Maximum likelihood classifier in terms of performance evaluation. from the results we can conclude that the proposed method is effective for classification.
