Estimation of Leaf Area Index and Plant Area Index of a Submerged Macrophyte Canopy Using Digital Photography
Non-destructive estimation using digital cameras is a common approach for estimating leaf area index (LAI) of terrestrial vegetation. However, no attempt has been made so far to develop non-destructive approaches to LAI estimation for aquatic vegetation. Using the submerged plant species Potamogeton malainus, the objective of this study was to determine whether the gap fraction derived from ver...
متن کاملDigital Cover Photography for Estimating Leaf Area Index (LAI) in Apple Trees Using a Variable Light Extinction Coefficient
Leaf area index (LAI) is one of the key biophysical variables required for crop modeling. Direct LAI measurements are time consuming and difficult to obtain for experimental and commercial fruit orchards. Devices used to estimate LAI have shown considerable errors when compared to ground-truth or destructive measurements, requiring tedious site-specific calibrations. The objective of this study...
متن کاملestimation of leaf area index using irs satellite images
estimation of vegetation cover attributes, such as the leaf area index (lai), is an important step in identifying the amount of water use for some plants. the goal of this study is to investigate the feasibility of using irs liss-iii data to retrieve lai. to get a lai retrieval model based on reflectance and vegetation index, detailed field data were collected in the study area of eastern iran....
متن کاملMeasurement of Crown Cover and Leaf Area Index Using Digital Cover Photography and Its Application to Remote Sensing
Digital cover photography (DCP) is a high resolution, vertical field-of-view method for ground-based estimation of forest metrics, and has advantages over fisheye sensors owing to its ease of application and high accuracy. We conducted the first thorough technical appraisal of DCP using both single-lens-reflex (DSLR) and point-and-shoot cameras and concluded that differences result primarily fr...
متن کاملLeaf area index estimates obtained for mixed forest using hemispherical photography and HyMap data
The Leaf Area Index (LAI) is an important measure in many ecological applications because vegetation-atmosphere processes of the canopy, such as photosynthesis are controlled by the foliage and play an essential role in the carbon cycle. Therefore accurate determination of LAI is of great interest. Forest LAI is difficult to estimate due to the complex structure of the canopy and its high varia...
