The field of remote sensing and machine learning is rapidly advancing, with a focus on improving accuracy and efficiency in agricultural applications. Recent research has explored the use of transfer learning, meta-learning, and ensemble methods to enhance crop classification, disease detection, and yield estimation. These approaches have shown promising results, with some studies achieving high accuracy rates and improved computational efficiency. The integration of multi-scale geospatial information and the use of auxiliary labels are also being investigated to improve model performance. Noteworthy papers in this area include: A Decade of Wheat Mapping for Lebanon, which introduces an improved pipeline for winter wheat segmentation and presents a case study on a decade-long analysis of wheat mapping in Lebanon. Enhancing Cocoa Pod Disease Classification via Transfer Learning and Ensemble Methods, which presents an ensemble-based approach for cocoa pod disease classification and achieves a test accuracy of 100% using Bagging. Transfer Learning via Auxiliary Labels with Application to Cold-Hardiness Prediction, which introduces a new transfer-learning framework that allows farmers to leverage phenological data to produce more accurate cold-hardiness predictions.
