Implementations relate to improved crop field segmentation and crop classification in which boundaries between crop fields are more accurately detected. In various implementations, high-elevation image(s) that capture an area containing multiple demarcated fields may be applied as input across one or more machine learning models to generate a boundary enhancement channel. Each pixel of the boundary enhancement channel may be spatially aligned with a corresponding pixel of the one or more high-elevation images. Moreover, each pixel of the boundary enhancement channel may be classified with a unit angle to a reference location of the field of the multiple demarcated fields that contains the pixel. Based on the boundary enhancement channel, pixel-wise field memberships of pixels of the one or more high-elevation images in the multiple demarcated fields may be determined.
