| Abstract | Leaf area index (LAI) and biomass are important indicators that reflect the growth status of maize. The optical vegetation indices and the synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) backscattering coefficient are commonly used to estimate the LAI and biomass. However, previous studies have suggested that spectral features extracted from a single pixel have a poor ability to describe the canopy structure. In this paper, we propose a method for estimating LAI and biomass by combining spectral and texture features. Specifically, LAI, biomass and remote-sensing data were collected from the jointing, trumpet, flowering, and filling stages of maize. Then we formed six remote-sensing feature matrices using the spectral and texture features extracted from the remote sensing data. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to remove noise and to reduce and integrate the multi-dimensional features. Multiple linear regression (MLR) and support vector regression (SVR) methods were used to build the estimation models. Tenfold cross-validation was adopted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The experimental results show that using the texture features of both optical and SAR data improves the estimation accuracy of LAI and biomass. In particular, SAR texture features greatly improve the estimation accuracy of biomass. The estimation model constructed by combining spectral and texture features of optical and SAR data achieves the best performance (highest coefficient of determination ($R^{2}$ ) and lowest root mean square error (RMSE)). Specifically, we conclude that the best window sizes for extracting texture features from optical and SAR data are $3\times 3$ and $7 \times 7$ , respectively. SVR is more suitable for estimating the LAI and biomass of maize than MLR. In addition, after adding texture features, we observed a significant improvement in the accuracy of estimation of LAI and biomass for the growth stages, which have a larger variation in the extent of the canopy. Overall, this work shows the potential of combining spectral and texture features for improving the estimation accuracy of LAI and biomass in maize. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
