摘要： Although textural information can be used to estimate vegetation biomass, its use for estimating crop biomass is rare, and previous methods lacked a mechanistic explanation for the relationship to biomass. The objective of the present study was to develop mechanistic textural indices for estimating cotton biomass and solving saturation problems at medium and high biomass levels. A nitrogen (N) fertilization experiment was established, and unmanned aerial vehicle optical images and field measured biomass data were obtained during critical cotton growth stages. Based on these data, two textural indices, namely the normalized difference texture index combining contrast and the inverse difference moment of the green band (NBTI (CON, IDM)(g)) and normalized difference texture index combining entropy and the inverse difference moment of the green band (NBTI (ENT, IDM)(g)), were proposed by analyzing the mechanism of texture parameters for biomass prediction and the law of texture parameters changing with biomass. These indices were compared with spectral indices commonly used for biomass estimation using independent validation data, such as the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). The results showed that the proposed textural indices performed better than the spectral indices with no saturation problems occurring. The combination of spectral and textural indices using a stepwise regression method performed better for biomass estimation than using only spectral or textural indices. This method has considerable potential for improving the accuracy of biomass estimations for the subsequent delineation of precise cotton management zones.
