Information on the area and spatial distribution of paddy rice fields is needed for trace gas
emission estimates, management of water resources, and food security. Paddy rice fields
are characterized by an initial period of flooding and transplanting, during which period
open canopy (a mixture of surface water and rice crops) exists. The Moderate Resolution
Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor onboard the NASA EOS Terra satellite has
visible, near infrared and shortwave infrared bands; and therefore, a number of vegetation …

Mapping paddy rice agriculture in South and Southeast Asia using multi-temporal MODIS images

In this paper, we developed a new geospatial database of paddy rice agriculture for 13
countries in South and Southeast Asia. These countries have∼ 30% of the world population
and∼ 2/3 of the total rice land area in the world. We used 8-day composite images (500-m
spatial resolution) in 2002 from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer
(MODIS) sensor onboard the NASA EOS Terra satellite. Paddy rice fields are characterized
