Title
Retrieval Of Canopy Water Content Using A New Spectral Area Index Method
Abstract
Canopy water content (CWC) is one of the most important biochemical properties of plants, which can be estimated from remote sensing data conveniently by using vegetation water indices. This paper started from the analysis of some existing indices and then proposed two novel indices to estimate CWC. First, the area under part of near infrared and shortwave infrared reflectance curve were calculated. Then two indices, Area-based Normalized Index (ABNI) and Area-Based Ratio Index (ABRI) were developed by using ratio method and normalization method, respectively. From the validation results, the new indices were found to exponentially correlate with CWC more significantly than some classical indices, and the determination coefficient (R-2) and root mean square error (RMSE) of the new method were 0.89 and 0.04, which indicated that the novel indices provided a promising way to monitor CWC.
