== New results, using the seasonal feature of polygon area per quadrant ==

{{thales:4seasons.png?400|}}

Typology based on MOD12Q1 (2004-2005), using 11267 instances //(Water, Evergreen Broadleaf forest, Deciduous Broadleaf forest, Open shrublands, Woody savannas, Croplands)//

{{thales:kappas_mod12q1.png|}} {{thales:leaves_mod12q1.png|}}

Typology //(Single crop, Double crop, other classes)//

Using a combination of features (Basic + Polar), 90% of correct classified points (2074 instances).
