基于SPOT5遥感影像的城市森林叶面积指数反演

本文以上海城市森林为研究对象,采用地面实验与遥感技术相结合方法,开展SPOT5遥感影像在估测城市森林LAI中的应用研究。结果表明,地面实测LAI与三种植被指数均具有很好的线性回归关系,相关系数(r)均大于0.6,其中MSAVI的相关系数最高(r=0.66),其次为MCARI(r=0.64)和NDVI(r=0.62)。说明ND-VI仍受到背景等因素不同程度的影响,而植被指数MSAVI和MCARI,由于能进一步消除土壤背景和叶绿素的影响,对叶面积指数比较敏感,能更好地与叶面积指数建立关系,能更好地用于城市森林叶面积指数的遥感反演。本研究可为快速定量评估城市森林的结构和功能提供依据。     

基于TM的辐射传输模型反演叶面积指数可行性研究

基于PROSAIL辐射传输模型，引入土壤反射指数SRI来简化模型，提出直接从反射率计算SRI的方法；  同时，针对不同的植被状况，采取不同波段组合对模型的参数进行敏感性分析，确定自由参数与反演波段组合，提出一种基于不同植被状况的叶面积指数反演策略； 最后，应用遗传算法对模拟的TM光谱反射数据进行实验。结果表明，对于LAI＜3的植被，反演精度较高； 但是对于LAI＞3的植被，反演精度较低，其原因主要是冠层反射对LAI不再敏感。因此，辐射传输模型反演LAI有一定适用范围，只有在此范围内LAI的反演精度才可靠。

基于机载MASTER数据的果园叶面积指数遥感反演

叶面积指数(leaf area index,LAI)是描述植被冠层结构的重要参数,准确获取果树的LAI对果树长势监测和果树估产均有重要作用。以美国加州中部的果园为研究区,基于沿太阳主平面飞行成像的机载MODIS/ASTER模拟传感器(MODIS/ASTER airborne simulator,MASTER)数据,利用实测LAI数据与归一化差值植被指数(normalized difference vegetation index,NDVI)、归一化差值红外指数(normalized difference infrared index,NDII)和归一化差值水体指数(normalized difference water index,NDWI)分别建立回归模型,并选取NDWI进行研究区LAI的反演。结果表明:由于地物的二向性反射,垂直太阳主平面飞行获取的遥感数据具有明显的亮度梯度现象,而沿太阳主平面飞行获取的遥感数据几乎不受亮度梯度的影响;NDVI在高植被覆盖区容易达到饱和,而NDWI比NDVI和NDII具有更高的拟合度和更小的均方根误差,更加适合研究区LAI的遥感反演;该研究结果可以丰富LAI反演理论,也可以为研究LAI尺度问题提供理论和数据支持。     

光学与微波植被指数协同反演农作物叶面积指数的可行性分析

光学遥感是目前反演植被叶面积指数LAI（Leaf Area Index）的主要手段,但是当叶面积指数较大时存在光学遥感信息饱和、反演精度显著降低的问题。叶面积指数和平均叶倾角对光学、微波波段范围内反射和散射特性都有重要影响,主要表现在植被结构参数的变化可以引起冠层孔隙率和消光截面大小的改变。本文以典型农作物玉米为例,通过构建统一的PROSAIL和MIMICS模型输入参数,生成一套玉米全生长期光学二向反射率和全极化微波后向散射系数模拟库和冠层参数库。通过对模拟数据与LAI敏感性和相关性分析得出：（1）光学植被指数MNDVI_{(800 nm,2000 nm)},在LAI为0—3时敏感,基于MNDVI与LAI的回归模型可以估算LAI变化 0.4的情况,RMSE是0.33,R²是0.958。（2）微波植被指数SAR_{SRVI(1.4 GHz HH,9.6 GHz HV)},在LAI为3—6时敏感,基于SAR_SRVI与LAI的回归模型可以估算LAI变化1的情况,RMSE为0.22,R²是0.9839。研究表明,采用分段敏感的植被指数,协同光学和微波遥感反演玉米全生长期叶面积指数是可行的。

Comparative analysis of different retrieval methods for mapping grassland leaf area index using airborne imaging spectroscopy

Fine scale maps of vegetation biophysical variables are useful status indicators for monitoring and managing national parks and endangered habitats. Here, we assess in a comparative way four different retrieval methods for estimating leaf area index (LAI) in grassland: two radiative transfer model (RTM) inversion methods (one based on look-up-tables (LUT) and one based on predictive equations) and two statistical modelling methods (one partly, the other entirely based on in situ data). For prediction, spectral data were used that had been acquired over Majella National Park in Italy by the airborne hyperspectral HyMap instrument. To assess the performance of the four investigated models, the normalized root mean squared error (nRMSE) and coefficient of determination (R²) between estimates and in situ LAI measurements are reported (n = 41). Using a jackknife approach, we also quantified the accuracy and robustness of empirical models as a function of the size of the available calibration data set. The results of the study demonstrate that the LUT-based RTM inversion yields higher accuracies for LAI estimation (R² = 0.91, nRMSE = 0.18) as compared to RTM inversions based on predictive equations (R² = 0.79, nRMSE = 0.38). The two statistical methods yield accuracies similar to the LUT method. However, as expected, the accuracy and robustness of the statistical models decrease when the size of the calibration database is reduced to fewer samples. The results of this study are of interest for the remote sensing community developing improved inversion schemes for spaceborne hyperspectral sensors applicable to different vegetation types. The examples provided in this paper may also serve as illustrations for the drawbacks and advantages of physical and empirical models.

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.     

Estimating winter wheat biomass by assimilating leaf area index derived from fusion of Landsat-8 and MODIS data

A sufficient number of satellite acquisitions in a growing season are essential for deriving agronomic indicators, such as green leaf area index (GLAI), to be assimilated into crop models for crop productivity estimation. However, for most high resolution orbital optical satellites, it is often difficult to obtain images frequently due to their long revisit cycles and unfavorable weather conditions. Data fusion algorithms, such as the Spatial and Temporal Adaptive Reflectance Fusion Model (STARFM) and the Enhanced STARFM (ESTARFM), have been developed to generate synthetic data with high spatial and temporal resolution to address this issue. In this study, we evaluated the approach of assimilating GLAI into the Simple Algorithm for Yield Estimation model (SAFY) for winter wheat biomass estimation. GLAI was estimated using the two-band Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI2) derived from data acquired by the Operational Land Imager (OLI) onboard the Landsat-8 and a fusion dataset generated by blending the Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data and the OLI data using the STARFM and ESTARFM models. The fusion dataset had the temporal resolution of the MODIS data and the spatial resolution of the OLI data. Key parameters of the SAFY model were optimised through assimilation of the estimated GLAI into the crop model using the Shuffled Complex Evolution-University of Arizona (SCE-UA) algorithm. A good agreement was achieved between the estimated and field measured biomass by assimilating the GLAI derived from the OLI data (GLAI_L) alone (R² = 0.77 and RMSE = 231 g m⁻²). Assimilation of GLAI derived from the fusion dataset (GLAI_F) resulted in a R² of 0.71 and RMSE of 193 g m⁻² while assimilating the combination of GLAI_L and GLAI_F led to further improvements (R² = 0.76 and RMSE = 176 g m⁻²). Our results demonstrated the potential of using the fusion algorithms to improve crop growth monitoring and crop productivity estimation when the number of high resolution remote sensing data acquisitions is limited.     

Comparison of UAV and WorldView-2 imagery for mapping leaf area index of mangrove forest

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) remote sensing has opened the door to new sources of data to effectively characterize vegetation metrics at very high spatial resolution and at flexible revisit frequencies. Successful estimation of the leaf area index (LAI) in precision agriculture with a UAV image has been reported in several studies. However, in most forests, the challenges associated with the interference from a complex background and a variety of vegetation species have hindered research using UAV images. To the best of our knowledge, very few studies have mapped the forest LAI with a UAV image. In addition, the drawbacks and advantages of estimating the forest LAI with UAV and satellite images at high spatial resolution remain a knowledge gap in existing literature. Therefore, this paper aims to map LAI in a mangrove forest with a complex background and a variety of vegetation species using a UAV image and compare it with a WorldView-2 image (WV2).In this study, three representative NDVIs, average NDVI (AvNDVI), vegetated specific NDVI (VsNDVI), and scaled NDVI (ScNDVI), were acquired with UAV and WV2 to predict the plot level (10 × 10 m) LAI. The results showed that AvNDVI achieved the highest accuracy for WV2 (R² = 0.778, RMSE = 0.424), whereas ScNDVI obtained the optimal accuracy for UAV (R² = 0.817, RMSE = 0.423). In addition, an overall comparison results of the WV2 and UAV derived LAIs indicated that UAV obtained a better accuracy than WV2 in the plots that were covered with homogeneous mangrove species or in the low LAI plots, which was because UAV can effectively eliminate the influence from the background and the vegetation species owing to its high spatial resolution. However, WV2 obtained a slightly higher accuracy than UAV in the plots covered with a variety of mangrove species, which was because the UAV sensor provides a negative spectral response function(SRF) than WV2 in terms of the mangrove LAI estimation.
