Synopsis (short abstract) Libya is characterized by water scarcity. The land cover map is required to support crop and water productivity in Libya. Sampling design needs to be carried out to identify suitable locations for field surveys to collect data for land cover mapping. Stratification based on changes in vegetation and water productivity is carried out to identify the optimum number of sampling locations in Fezzan, Libya at the parcel level

    Parcel-level cropland maps are an essential data source for crop and water productivity and many other agronomy applications. The segmentation technique is used to delineate land parcel boundaries of cultivated areas, and to select suitable sampling locations for field data collection in Fezzan, Libya. eCognition Developer was used to performing the segmentation of the Landsat 8 imagery (at 30 m) and NDVI composite of years 2010, 2015, and 2021.
