Comparison and evaluation of the suitability of existing irrigation area products in the Yellow River Basin
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Accurate monitoring of irrigated farmland is crucial for water resource management and food production forecasting. While remote sensing has enhanced global irrigation monitoring, a systematic comparison of existing products is still needed. This study evaluates six irrigation area products—GFSAD, GMIA-Meier, GMIE, IAAA, IrriMap-CN, and Xiang—using the Yellow River Basin as a case study. Four types of in-situ measurement data— TPD-FIWEC, FSD, and both ASMD and MSMD—were analyzed, resulting in a validation dataset of 5382 points. Results based on area and spatial accuracy showed that GMIE performed best, with a relative area deviation (RAD) of 17.33 %, overall accuracy (OA) of 0.72, a consistency index (CI) of 0.65, and both omission and commission errors (OE and CE) below 0.40. Cross-comparison showed that only 22.62 % of irrigated pixels were identified by more than three products. The Comprehensive Evaluation Index (CEI) analysis revealed regional performance variations, particularly in areas such as LZ to TDG, the Mid-altitude region, and the Northern arid/semi-arid and Humid Climate regions, where several products performed well. This study provides a solid foundation for applying irrigation area products in water resource management and offers recommendations for future optimization.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
