Abstract

This study explores advanced machine learning techniques for improving crop yield prediction in smart farming, utilizing multi-temporal spectral data from drone-based multispectral imagery. Conducted in garlic orchards in Andong, Gyeongbuk Province, South Korea, the research examines the effectiveness of various vegetation indices and cutting-edge models, including LSTM, CNN, Random Forest, and XGBoost. By integrating these models with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), the study systematically evaluates the factors that influence prediction accuracy. The integrated approach significantly outperforms single models, offering a more comprehensive and adaptable framework for yield prediction. This research contributes to precision agriculture by providing a robust, AI-driven methodology that enhances the sustainability and efficiency of farming practices.
