Abstract :Along with the data obtained from the developing remote sensing technologies, the use of machine learning techniques is widely employed in classification at a more effective and precise level. In this study, support vector machines insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SVM); technique, one of the machine learning approaches, was utilized with the help of data obtained from satellite image, and it was aimed to classify agricultural products. Moreover, lentil and wheat products were employed for object detection, and Landsat-8 satellite was preferred as satellite imagery. In order to determine the plant indexes in the image, Landsat-8 image of the development period of agricultural products dated May 6, 2018 was used and 98 sample points were taken with the help of GPS on the pilot area. After that, the position of these points were transferred to Landsat-8 satellite image employing the QGIS program and NDVI values were calculated from these points, which corresponds to Landsat-8 NDVI image pixels. The obtained NDVI values were then utilized in the SVM as inputs. As a result, the accuracy of the overall system for crop classification on the pilot area was computed as 83.3%.
