Massey, Richard, et al. "MODIS phenology-derived, multi-year distribution of conterminous US crop types." Remote Sensing of Environment 198 (2017): 490-503.

This paper developed a novel generalized approach to rapidly and accurately map crop types using MODIS data. And the author claimed that the novelty of this paper is the interpretation and automation of distance values, decision tree thresholds, and the decision tree structure in addition to the capability to accurately classify crop classes with or without the used of expensive training data via year-specific or generalized classifier.

But, to me honest, I don't really like this paper, and I don't really understand the importance of this study.
