摘要： Introduction: Crop height and above-ground biomass (AGB) serve as crucial indicators for monitoring crop growth and estimating grain yield. Timely and accurate acquisition of wheat crop height and AGB data is paramount for guiding agricultural production. However, traditional data acquisition methods suffer from drawbacks such as time-consuming, laborious and destructive sampling. Methods: The current approach to estimating AGB using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) remote sensing relies solely on spectral data, resulting in low accuracy in estimation. This method fails to address the ill-posed inverse problem of mapping from two-dimensional to three-dimensional and issues related to spectral saturation. To overcome these challenges, RGB and multispectral sensors mounted on UAVs were employed to acquire spectral image data. The five-directional oblique photography technique was utilized to construct the three-dimensional point cloud for extracting crop height. Results and Discussion: This study comparatively analyzed the potential of the mean method and the Accumulated Incremental Height (AIH) method in crop height extraction. Utilizing Vegetation Indices (VIs), AIH and their feature combinations, models including Random Forest Regression (RFR), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Gradient Boosting Regression Trees (GBRT), Support Vector Regression (SVR) and Ridge Regression (RR) were constructed to estimate winter wheat AGB. The research results indicated that the AIH method performed well in crop height extraction, with minimal differences between 95% AIH and measured crop height values were observed across various growth stages of wheat, yielding R2 ranging from 0.768 to 0.784. Compared to individual features, the combination of multiple features significantly improved the model’s estimate accuracy. The incorporation of AIH features helps alleviate the effects of spectral saturation. Coupling VIs with AIH features, the model’s R2 increases from 0.694-0.885 with only VIs features to 0.728-0.925. In comparing the performance of five machine learning algorithms, it was discovered that models constructed based on decision trees were superior to other machine learning algorithms. Among them, the RFR algorithm performed optimally, with R2 ranging from 0.9 to 0.93. Conclusion: In conclusion, leveraging multi-source remote sensing data from UAVs with machine learning algorithms overcomes the limitations of traditional crop monitoring methods, offering a technological reference for precision agriculture management and decision-making.
