Detection of mature and immature oil palm from image Sentinel-2 using Google Earth Engine (GEE) / Nurul Ain Nabilah Sharuddin

Oil palm is crucial to ecology, the environment, and the economy. If improperly managed and monitored, unrestrained oil palm activities could contribute to deforestation, which can seriously affect the environment. Remote sensing provides a means to effectively detect and map oil palms from space. R...
