Abstract

This study aimed to 1) analyze sugarcane land change pattern before and after having sugarcane planting promotion project using Moran’s I distribution method and 2) predict yield by Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) photos and ground data. The Landsat image time series were classified land use maps using Nearest Neighbor (NN), and 93 farmers were interviewed. Hierarchy classification with Excessive Green Index (ExG) conducted to define sugarcane density in stages. These maps and 100 sampling plots as 1.5x.1.5 m include the number of stalks and harvested yield to investigate the correlation (r). Simple regression model was created for correlation analysis and used to estimate yield. The result of model was measured using statistic method. The land use of 2004, 2010 and 2018 were overall accuracy as 86.18, 87.41 and 98.72%. Land use change during 2004 - 2010 and 2010 - 2018 after having the encouraged project, the other cultivations have mostly changed to sugarcane of 5.55% as random and 19.63% as cluster distribution. Ripening phase shown high correlation than others (r: 0.84). Yield prediction was RMSE and absolute error as 0.90 and 0.06%, this method had estimated yield of 396.60 tons, compare to harvest yield as 413 tons. The result can use to plan and develop estimated yield for consistency of sugarcane and sugar industry toward commercial level. Keywords : sugarcane land change, Moran’s I, OBIA, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), yield estimation
