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

Abstract:

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.
