Estimation of Leaf Area Index and chlorophyll content in barley by inversion of radiative transfer models at different growth stages

摘要

This paper presents research work carry out in barley crop fields located in Valladolid, northern Spain. Validation of barley canopy reflectance was conducted using SAILH-PROSPECT model, comparing the simulations with field-measured reflectance for different illumination angle and different stage of crop development at nadir viewing angle. Validation of leaf optical properties from such crop was also carried out by inversion of the PROSPECT radiative transfer model.
