Canopy Water Content Estimation for Typical Emerged Plant Community from Simulation Worldview-2 Data: A Case Study in Wild Duck LakeWetland, Beijing

摘要

Quantitative estimation of vegetation water content with remote sensing technique is of great significance for vegetation physiological status and growth trend monitoring. It also provides a theoretical foundation for actual application of vegetation water content diagnosis using remote sensing images in Wild Duck Lake wetland. In this paper the NDVIs and SRs calculated from simulation WorldVeiw-2 curves can be used to model and predict canopy water content of typical emerged plant. The NDVIs and SRs involving the additional spectral bands of WorldView-2, such as the red-edge and near infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, improve the prediction accuracy compared with the traditional NDVIs and SRs.
