植被冠层光谱和叶片光谱的尺度转换

叶片光谱是估算植被生化参数的重要依据。然而,遥感影像获取的光谱为像元及冠层光谱,因此,在进行植被生化参数的遥感定量估算时,需将冠层光谱转化到叶片尺度。根据几何光学模型原理,推导出植被冠层光谱和叶片光谱的尺度转换函数,将冠层光谱转换到叶片尺度。首先,采用叶片光谱模拟模型PROSPECT模拟出叶片水平的光谱;其次,在几何光学模型4-scale模型中,通过改变叶片光谱和叶面积指数（leaf area index,LAI）,模拟出不同叶片特征下的冠层光谱。最后,通过LAI建立两个查找表,一个是传感器观测到树冠光照面和背景光照面概率的查找表,另一个是多次散射因子M的查找表,从而实现冠层光谱和叶片光谱的转化。结果表明,利用4-scale模型能实现冠层光谱与叶片光谱的尺度转换,此方法有很好的适用性。

山地叶面积指数反演理论、方法与研究进展

叶面积指数LAI（Leaf Area Index）是表征叶片疏密程度和冠层结构特征的重要植被参数，在气候变化、作物生长模型以及碳、水循环研究中发挥着重要作用。遥感是获取区域及全球尺度LAI的一个重要手段，当前LAI产品主要基于遥感数据反演得到，但是多数LAI产品算法并未考虑地形特征的影响，导致山地LAI遥感反演精度不确定性大。提高山地LAI遥感反演精度亟需考虑地形因子对冠层反射率的影响，其中山地冠层反射率模型和遥感数据地形校正是提升山地LAI遥感反演精度的关键。本文围绕山地LAI遥感反演理论与方法，综合分析了国内外山地冠层反射率模型和地形校正模型的研究进展，总结了目前山地LAI遥感反演存在的问题，并讨论了未来研究的发展趋势。

智能手机农作物叶面积指数测量算法改进

叶面积指数LAI(Leaf Area Index)是表征植被冠层结构特征的一个重要参数，已经成为多个对地观测系统的陆表参数标准产品，也是定量遥感模型的重要输入参数。快速、准确地获取植被LAI对于开展遥感产品验证、促进遥感模型的发展具有极为重要的意义。随着传感器性能与应用软件功能扩展，智能手机已经成为植被LAI测量的新选择。然而，由于手机成像传感器窄视场角的限制，现有算法依赖于叶倾角分布函数为球型分布的假设，即G函数(单位叶面积在垂直于观测天顶角的平面上的投影)恒等于0.5。因而，传统算法无法解决植被叶倾角分布未知的情况。本文提出了一种基于形状匹配的G函数估算方法，基于有限长度方法和多幅影像间隙率，计算样方内的植被冠层聚集指数，利用泊松分布模型分别得到了植被冠层有效叶面积指数(LAI_eff)和真实叶面积指数(LAI_tru)，并用黑龙江海伦农场两种农作物类型(玉米和大豆)的破坏性测量得到的时间序列真实LAI数据(LAI_des)对算法进行了验证。结果表明，算法改进之前的均方根误差(RMSE)分别是0.84(垂直拍摄)和1.33...

Estimation of forest LAI by inverting canopy reflectance models and multi-angle imagery

Computer simulation models have seldom been applied for estimating the structural and biophysical variables of forest canopy. In this study, an approach for the estimation of leaf area index (LAI) using the information contained in hyperspectral, multi-angle images and the inversion of a computer simulation model are explored. For this purpose, L-systems combined with forest growth model ZELIG were applied to render 3-D forest architectural scenarios. The Radiosity-graphics combined model (RGM) was used to estimate forest LAI from the Compact High-Resolution Imaging Spectrometer/Project for On-Board Autonomy (CHRIS/PROBA) data. LAI inversion was performed using the look-up table (LUT) method. The estimated LAI was evaluated against in situ LAI measurement and compared against the LAI predictions from CHRIS data obtained using the Li-Strahler geometric-optical canopy reflectance model (GOMS). The results indicated that the method used in this study can be efficient strategy to estimate LAI by RGM model inversion.     

Estimation of leaf area index using PROSAIL based LUT inversion,MLRA-GPR and empirical models: Case study of tropical deciduous forest plantation,North India

Forests play a vital role in biological cycles and environmental regulation. To understand the key processes of forest canopies (e.g., photosynthesis, respiration and transpiration), reliable and accurate information on spatial variability of Leaf Area Index (LAI), and its seasonal dynamics is essential. In the present study, we assessed the performance of biophysical parameter (LAI) retrieval methods viz. Look-Up Table (LUT)-inversion, MLRA-GPR (Machine Learning Regression Algorithm- Gaussian Processes Regression) and empirical models, for estimating the LAI of tropical deciduous plantation using ARTMO (Automated Radiative Transfer Models Operator) tool and Sentinel-2 satellite images. The study was conducted in Central Tarai Forest Division, Haldwani, located in the Uttarakhand state, India. A total of 49 ESUs (Elementary Sampling Unit) of 30 m × 30 m size were established based on variability in composition and age of plantation stands. In-situ LAI was recorded using plant canopy imager during the leaf growing, peak and senescence seasons. The PROSAIL model was calibrated with site-specific biophysical and biochemical parameters before used to the predicted LAI. The plantation LAI was also predicted by an empirical approach using optimally chosen Sentinel-2 vegetation indices. In addition, Sentinel-2 and MODIS LAI products were evaluated with respect to LAI measurements. MLRA-GPR offered best results for predicting LAI of leaf growing (R² = 0.9, RMSE = 0.14), peak (R² = 0.87, RMSE = 0.21) and senescence (R² = 0.86, RMSE = 0.31) seasons while LUT inverted model outperformed VI’s based parametric regression model. Vegetation indices (VIs) derived from 740 nm, 783 nm and 2190 nm band combinations of Sentinel-2 offered the best prediction of LAI.     

Retrieval of wheat leaf area index from AWiFS multispectral data using canopy radiative transfer simulation

Accurate representation of leaf area index (LAI) from high resolution satellite observations is obligatory for various modelling exercises and predicting the precise farm productivity. Present study compared the two retrieval approach based on canopy radiative transfer (CRT) method and empirical method using four vegetation indices (VI) (e.g. NDVI, NDWI, RVI and GNDVI) to estimate the wheat LAI. Reflectance observations available at very high (56 m) spatial resolution from Advanced Wide-Field Sensor (AWiFS) sensor onboard Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) P6, Resourcesat-1 satellite was used in this study. This study was performed over two different wheat growing regions, situated in different agro-climatic settings/environments: Trans-Gangetic Plain Region (TGPR) and Central Plateau and Hill Region (CPHR). Forward simulation of canopy reflectances in four AWiFS bands viz. green (0.52–0.59 μm), red (0.62–0.68 μm), NIR (0.77–0.86 μm) and SWIR (1.55–1.70 μm) were carried out to generate the look up table (LUT) using CRT model PROSAIL from all combinations of canopy intrinsic variables. An inversion technique based on minimization of cost function was used to retrieve LAI from LUT and observed AWiFS surface reflectances. Two consecutive wheat growing seasons (November 2005–March 2006 and November 2006–March 2007) datasets were used in this study. The empirical models were developed from first season data and second growing season data used for validation. Among all the models, LAI-NDVI empirical model showed the least RMSE (root mean square error) of 0.54 and 0.51 in both agro-climatic regions respectively. The comparison of PROSAIL retrieved LAI with in situ measurements of 2006–2007 over the two agro-climatic regions produced substantially less RMSE of 0.34 and 0.41 having more R² of 0.91 and 0.95 for TGPR and CPHR respectively in comparison to empirical models. Moreover, CRT retrieved LAI had less value of errors in all the LAI classes contrary to empirical estimates. The PROSAIL based retrieval has potential for operational implementation to determine the regional crop LAI and can be extendible to other regions after rigorous validation exercise.

Neural Network Estimation of Urban Leaf Area Index

Leaf area index (LAI) is a critical parameter for urban forest monitoring. The goal of this study in Terre Haute, Indiana, USA was to develop algorithms to model gap-fraction LAI measured on sample plots as a function of radiometric response measured by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER). Two neural networks facilitated the modeling. The first was trained to detect sites dominated by bare ground using ASTER visible, infrared, and thermal channels. The second estimated LAI as a function of vegetation indices. When the field sample sites were resubmitted to the two networks, the resulting systemwide standard error of the estimate was 1.25 LAI units.     

Leaf Area Index Estimation Using Time-Series MODIS Data in Different Types of Vegetation

The aim of this study is to estimate leaf area index (LAI) in different type of plants using vegetation indices (VIs) and neural network algorithms retrieved from MODIS data. Four VI were calculated, and neural networks were built up based on MODIS surface reflectance products. Among the tested VIs, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and chlorophyll index (CI) appeared to be the best candidate indices in estimating LAI across sites with different vegetation types. The models having the highest accuracy were CI for grassland and deciduous broad leaf forest with determination coefficients (R-square above 0.70, and NDVI for crop R-square?=?0.78). Neural network showed better results than VI methods except in grassland sites. The added VI information showed no significant improvement of model accuracy for the neural networks in most sites.

Retrieval of leaf area index in alpine wetlands using a two-layer canopy reflectance model

In this paper, we focused on the retrieval of the LAI in an alpine wetland located in western part of China in late August and early July 2011. A two-layer canopy reflectance model (ACRM) was used to establish the relationships between the LAI and the reflectance of near-infrared (NIR) and red (RED) wavebands. The reflectance data were derived from Landsat TM L1T product and the Terra and Aqua MODIS 16-day and 8-day composite reflectance products (MOD/MYD09) at 250 m resolution. Due to the lack of the information about some major input parameters for ACRM, which are sensitive to model outputs in the reflectance of NIR and RED wavebands, the inverse problem was ill-posed. To overcome this problem, a method of increasing the sensitivity of the LAI while reducing the influence of other model free parameters based on the study of free parameters’ sensitivity to the ACRM outputs and the region’s features was studied. The area of interest was divided into two parts using the approximately statistic normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) value around 0.5. One part was sparse vegetation (0.1 < NDVI < 0.5), which is more sensitive to soil background effects and less sensitive to the canopy biophysical and biochemical variables. The other part was dense vegetation (0.5 ≤ NDVI < 1.0), which is less sensitive to soil background effects and more sensitive to plant canopies and leaf parameters. Then, the relationships of ρ_nir–LAI and ρ_red–LAI were established using a look-up table algorithm for the two parts. Furthermore, a regularization technique for fast pixel-wise retrieval was introduced to reduce the elements of LUT sets while maintaining a relatively high accuracy. The results were very promising compared to the field measured LAI values that the correlation (R²) of the measured LAI values and retrieved LAI values reached 0.95, and the root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) was 0.33 for late August, 2011, while the R² reached 0.82 and RMSD was 0.25 for early July 2011.
