Crop classification requires a substantial number of labeled samples, but the collection of labeled samples demands significant resources and sample data may not be available for some years. To classify crops in sample-free years in the middle reaches of the Hei River, we generated multisource spectral data (MSSD) based on a spectral library and sample data.
