Abstract
Efficient and quick yield prediction is of great significance for ensuring world food security and crop breeding research. The rapid development of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology makes it more timely and accurate to monitor crops by remote sensing. The objective of this study was to explore the method of developing a novel yield index (YI) with wide adaptability for yield prediction by fusing vegetation indices (VIs), color indices (CIs), and texture indices (TIs) from UAV-based imagery. Six field experiments with 24 varieties of rice and 21 fertilization methods were carried out in three experimental stations in 2019 and 2020. The multispectral and RGB images of the rice canopy collected by the UAV platform were used to rebuild six new VIs and TIs. The performance of VI-based YI (MAPE = 13.98%) developed by quadratic nonlinear regression at the maturity stage was better than other stages, and outperformed that of CI-based (MAPE = 22.21%) and TI-based (MAPE = 18.60%). Then six VIs, six CIs, and six TIs were fused to build YI by multiple linear regression and random forest models. Compared with heading stage (R2 = 0.78, MAPE = 9.72%) and all stage (R2 = 0.59, MAPE = 22.21%), the best performance of YI was developed by random forest with fusing VIs + CIs + TIs at maturity stage (R2 = 0.84, MAPE = 7.86%). Our findings suggest that the novel YI proposed in this study has great potential in crop yield monitoring.
