Mapping vineyard leaf area with multispectral satellite imagery
Vineyard leaf area is a key determinant of grape characteristics and wine quality. As is frequently the case in agriculture, available ground-based leaf area measurements employed by growers are not well suited to larger area mapping. In this study, IKONOS high spatial resolution, multispectral satellite imagery was used to map leaf area throughout two commercial wine grape vineyards (approxima...
متن کاملGlobal Leaf Area Index Mapping and Its Remaining Challenges
Leaf area index, defined as one half the total (all sided) leaf area per unit ground surface area [1], is a key vegetation structural parameter used in most ecological, hydrological and meteorological models to describe physical and biological processes associated with vegetated surfaces and their interaction with the atmosphere. The accuracy of existing global LAI parameters is not yet satisfa...
متن کاملInvestigating the 15-year-old seasonal variations in leaf area index using MODIS sensors in Iran
Today, it is widely used satellite imagery to monitor vegetation cover. The aim of this study is to analyses the leaf area in the period of 1395-1381 with the spatial resolution of a kilometer using the data of two remote sensing products of MODIS Terra and Aqua and seasonally. For this purpose, data were analyzed and statistical-mathematical compilation, coding and database creation were done ...
متن کاملComparing the Dry Season In-Situ Leaf Area Index (LAI) Derived from High-Resolution RapidEye Imagery with MODIS LAI in a Namibian Savanna
The Leaf Area Index (LAI) is one of the most frequently applied measures to characterize vegetation and its dynamics and functions with remote sensing. Satellite missions, such as NASA’s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) operationally produce global datasets of LAI. Due to their role as an input to large-scale modeling activities, evaluation and verification of such datasets...
متن کاملMapping forest leaf area index using reflectance and textural information derived from WorldView-2 imagery in a mixed natural forest area in Florida, US
The leaf area index (LAI) of plant canopies is an important structural parameter that controls energy, water, and gas exchanges of plant ecosystems. Remote sensing techniques may offer an alternative for measuring and mapping forest LAI at a landscape scale. Given the characteristics of high spatial / spectral resolution of the WorldView-2 (WV2) sensor, it is of significance that the textural i...
