Extraction of maize lodging area in mature period based on UAV multispectral image
摘要
Abstract
Lodging has been regard as one of the major destructive factors for crop quality and yield, resulting in an increas-ing need to develop cost-efficient and accurate methods for detecting crop lodging in a routine manner. Nowadays, rapid evolvement in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and sensor technology has allowed high accurate and more accessible in monitoring crop development and health status with adequate temporal, spatial, and spectral resolutions. Compared with sat-ellite and airborne photogrammetry, UAV with proper sensors offer a flexible, convenient, and cost-effective way to provide desired and customized observations on crop fields. Previous studies have extensively examined and verified the potential of UAV-based lodging recognition by leveraging photogrammetric algorithms, geospatial computing analysis, as well as per-tinent agricultural expertise. As a substantive extension of previous published proceeding papers, this work presents a com-plete UAV-based survey methodology for monitoring lodging maize. Multispectral images of lodging mature maize in Youyi farm of Heilongjiang Province were collected to extract the lodging area. There were 4 crop forms in the research ar-ea: not-lodging maize with green leaves, not-lodging maize with yellowish leaves, lodging maize with yellowish leaves, and black shadows, based on the multispectral image. The 2 vegetation indexes and 8 co-occurrence measures texture features were calculated, and the feature sets of maize lodging area extraction was constructed on the basis of the above 2 kinds of predictors and spectral reflectivity features. 5 types of maize lodging identification feature sets were sifted, which included spectral feature set, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) feature set, red edge normalized difference vegetation index (NDVIR-edge) feature set, single-class texture feature set and multi-class texture feature set. The maximum likeli-hood method was used to identify maize lodging for all feature sets. Finally, we analyzed the classification error of 4 crop morphology, extraction error and Kappa coefficient of lodging area under different features. The results showed that maize lodging area extracted by spectral feature set and NDVI feature set was larger than measured lodging area, which mainly be-cause the wrong classification of not-lodging B pixels into lodging pixels, while the main reason for the inaccurate maize lodging area obtained by NDVIR-edge feature was that the not-lodging B maize and the not-lodging maize affected by edge effect were classified into lodging. Extraction area of lodging maize by single texture feature set was smaller because some of the not-lodging B maize pixels were classified as lodging pixels, but more lodging pixels was misclassified as not-lodg-ing pixels. Single and multi-class texture feature sets could remove the shadow of blade gap well with appropriate texture filtering window selected, but multi-class feature set had higher extraction accuracy. It was difficult to distinguish the lodg-ing maize from the not-lodging maize with yellowish leaves in mature period, and there was no significant difference in spectral reflectance feature between the 2 crop morphology. Therefore, when we identified these 2 types of crop morpholo-gy, a large number of misclassification pixels would be generated. The multi-class texture features extracted from UAV mul-tispectral images could accurately extract maize lodging area. The average error of 4 crop morphology was 9.82%, the ex-traction error of lodging area was 3.40%, and the Kappa coefficient was 0.84.关键词
