UAV Hyperspectral Remote Sensing for Wheat CSPAD Estimation Model Based on Fusion of Spectral Parameters

Wheat canopy chlorophyll content (CSPAD) is an important physiological parameter characterizing the photosynthetic capacity and nutritional status of crops. Precision agricultural technologies are widely used for non-destructive monitoring of wheat SPAD, but the SPAD inversion models have limitations due to the incorporation of many principal components besides spectral parameters. In the current study, combined with […]
