Light Acquisition

8.4K
In order to produce glucose, plants need to capture sufficient light energy. Many modern plants have evolved leaves specialized for light acquisition. Leaves can be only millimeters in width or tens of meters wide, depending on the environment. Due to competition for sunlight, evolution has driven the evolution of increasingly larger leaves and taller plants, to avoid shading by their neighbors with contaminant elaboration of root architecture and mechanisms to transport water and nutrients.

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Engineering
  • Remote Sensing
  • Agronomy

Background:

  • Yield-monitoring systems are advanced for grain crops but less so for hay and forage.
  • Current hay yield monitoring often relies on bale weighing, limiting spatial resolution.
  • Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-based imaging offers a potential alternative for hay yield estimation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a UAV-based multispectral imaging system for estimating hay biomass yield.
  • To assess the effectiveness of Vegetation Indices (VIs) and texture features for hay yield prediction.
  • To determine the feasibility of creating high-resolution hay yield maps using UAV data.

Main Methods:

  • Data collected from red clover and timothy grass plots and fields in September 2020.
  • Multispectral images captured by a UAV at 30m and 50m altitudes.
  • Eleven Vegetation Indices and five texture features calculated to estimate biomass yield using multivariate regression models.

Main Results:

  • Multivariate regression models yielded R-squared values ranging from 0.31 to 0.68.
  • Strong correlations were observed between standard Vegetation Indices and biomass.
  • Variable image resolution and clarity presented challenges to accuracy.

Conclusions:

  • UAV-based imaging shows promise for hay yield estimation but requires further development.
  • Image quality factors significantly impact the accuracy of biomass yield predictions.
  • Additional research is necessary to achieve accurate, high-resolution hay yield mapping with UAVs.
