description | Remote sensing estimation of crop nitrogen content allows real-time monitoring of growth to develop scientific methods. However, most of the current remote sensing estimates of crop nitrogen contents have limitations in accurately reflecting the vertical distribution of nutrients in plants. Firstly, the original hyperspectrum is first-order differential (FD), second-order differential (SD), and continuous removal (CR), and the corresponding sensitive bands were screened by correlation analysis in this paper. Then, the spectral reflectance, vegetation indices, and wavelet coefficients were used as input features to construct models for estimating nitrogen content of flag leaf, upper 1 leaf, upper 2 leaf, upper 3 leaf, and upper 4 leaf based on partial least squares regression (PLSR), support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and multiple linear regression (MLR), respectively. The results showed that the accuracy of nitrogen content prediction based on wavelet coefficients was the highest. The combination of MLR and SVM with wavelet coefficients had high accuracy and robustness in the prediction of nitrogen content at different leaf positions. Additionally, the prediction accuracy of nitrogen gradually increased as the leaf position of winter wheat increased. The study can provide technical support for remote sensing estimation of nutrient elements at vertical leaf position of crops. The study can provide a reference for prediction of other crops. |
