Field-Scale Estimation of Maize Leaf Area Index from UAV Multispectral Imagery Using Compact Spectral and Texture Predictors
Leaf area index (LAI) is an important indicator of canopy development and is widely used for crop diagnosis and field-scale monitoring. We developed a UAV multispectral approach to estimate and map maize LAI in Tumed Right Banner, Inner Mongolia, China. The dataset comprised 488 paired observations from 122 georeferenc...
