Abstract

INTRODUCTION: In recent decades, the interest has grown to quantify the green area index as one of the key characteristics of crop canopies (e.g. for modelling transpiration, light interception, growth). The approach of estimating green area index based on multispectral reflection data from unmanned airborne vehicles with lightweight sensors might have the potential to deliver data with sufficient accuracy and high throughput during the whole season.
