Timely and accurate estimation of crop residue coverage (CRC) on a regional scale is essential for understanding the condition of ecosystems and the interactions with the surrounding environment. Satellite remote sensing is an effiective way of regional CRC estimation. Both optical remote sensing and microwave remote sensing are common means of CRC estimation.
