Visualization of Chlorophyll Content Distribution in Apple Leaves Based on Hyperspectral Imaging Technology

We took distribution visualization of chlorophyll content in apple leaves to estimate the nutrient content and growth levels of apple leaves. 130 mature and non-destructive apple leaves were collected, and imaging spectroscopy data were collected by SOC710VP hyperspectral imager. The chlorophyll content of the leaves was determined on the spectral information of the leaves. After pre-processing, we took linear wavelength stepwise regression method to choose the sensitive wavelength of chlorophyll content. And then we established partial least squares, principal component analysis and stepwise regression model. Finally, the chlorophyll content distribution visualization was realized. The results showed that the sensitive wavelengths of the chlorophyll content were 712.50 nm, 509.95 nm, 561.22 nm, 840.62 nm, 696.67 nm and 987.91 nm. The R2, RMSE, RE of the optical chlorophyll content estimation model, and the principal component analysis regression model, were 0.800, 0.319 and 26.4%. The chlorophyll content of each pixel on the hyperspectral image of apple leaves was calculated by the best estimation model and we completed the visualization distribution of chlorophyll content, which provided a technical support for the rapid detection of nutrient distribution.

Prediction Model of Nitrogen Content in Apple Leaves based on Ground Imaging Spectroscopy

A prediction model of apple leaf nitrogen content based on ground imaging spectroscopy was established to rapidly and nondestructively detect nitrogen content in apple leaves.SOC710VP hyperspectral imager was used to obtain the imaging spectral information of apple leaves,and the average spectral curve of interest region was extracted.The study is to analyze the characteristics of imaging spectral curves of apple leaves with different nitrogen content.On the basis of the SG smoothing and first derivative pretreatment of the spectral curve,the maximum sensitive band with nitrogen content is screened and the spectral parameters are constructed.Three modeling methods of BP,SVM and RF were used to establish the prediction model of nitrogen content in apple leaves.The results showed that in the visible range,the nitrogen content of apple leaves was negatively correlated with the reflectance of the spectral curve,and was most obvious in the green range.The R2 of BP,SVM and RF of apple leaf nitrogen content prediction model were 0.7283,0.8128,0.9086,RMSE were 0.9359,0.7365,0.5368,the R2 of test model were 0.6260,0.7294,0.6512,RMSE were 0.9460,0.7350,0.9024.Comparing the prediction results of the three models,the optimal prediction model is SVM model,which can well predict the nitrogen content of apple leaves.

Simulated Reflectance of Apple Trees in Canopy Level Based on the PROSAIL Model and HJ-1A-HSI Data

Using the PROSAIL radiation transfer model and HJ-1A-HSI data to simulate the canopy reflectivity of apple trees, this study lays the foundation for the inversion of canopy parameters. Taking Qixia City of Yantai City, Shandong Province as the research area, the apple tree was taken as the research object, and the hyperspectral reflectance, LAI and sample GPS of apple canopy were measured in the field. The parameters required for the PROSAIL model were obtained by experimental methods. The model simulates the reflectivity;the HSI image data is preprocessed, and the canopy reflectivity is extracted by GPS coordinates. The PROSAIL model and the HSI image simulated reflectance were fitted to the measured apple canopy reflectivity. The decisive factor (R2) of the simulated reflectance and the measured reflectance of the PROSAIL model was 0.9944, and the relative error (RE%)was 0.1845. The HSI data simulated reflectance and measured reflectance. The coefficient of determination is 0.9714 and the relative error is 0.6202. Both have achieved good fitting effects and can be used for inversion studies of apple canopy parameters.

Inversion of Canopy Nitrogen Content in Apple Orchard Based on GF-1 Satellite Image

The apple orchard in Qixia City, Yantai City, Shandong Province was used as the research area. The nitrogen content inversion of apple canopy was studied by using the satellite remote sensing images of GF-1. On the basis of GF-1 satellite multispectral image preprocessing, vegetation index was extracted by band math. The nitrogen sensitive vegetation index of apple canopy was selected by correlation analysis of nitrogen content in apple canopy. The best inversion model for the nitrogen content of apple canopy was selected by establishing the regression model of univariate and multivariate factors. The nitrogen content of the canopy of apple orchard in the study area was inverted in space. The results showed that the 6 vegetation indices of RVI, NDVI, EVI, VARI, NPCI and NRI were better correlated with nitrogen content in the vegetation index based on GF-1 satellite multispectral imaging. The best inversion model of nitrogen content in apple canopy layer is the multivariate stepwise regression (MSR) model: Nc = 35.74– 41.978^*NPCI-10.78^*NDVI. The R^2 and RMSE of the model was 0.69 and 1.07. The spatial inversion of nitrogen content in apple orchard canopy was obtained. This study provided theoretical basis and technical support for large-area rapid monitoring of regional fruit tree nutrients.
