摘要： The spectral reflectance provides valuable information regarding vegetation growth and plays an important role in agriculture, forestry, and grassland management. In this study, a small, portable vegetation canopy reflectance (VCR) sensor that can operate throughout the day was developed. The sensor includes two optical bands at 710 nm and 870 nm, with the light separated by filters, and has a field of view of 28 degrees. It is powered by two 14500 rechargeable batteries and uses Wi-Fi for data transmission. The calibration of the sensor was performed using an integrating sphere, and a solar altitude correction model was constructed. The sensor's accuracy was validated using a standard reflectance gray scale board. The results indicate that the root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE) at 710 nm were 1.07% and 0.63%, respectively, while those at 870 nm were 0.94% and 0.50%, respectively. Vegetation at 14 sites was measured using both the VCR sensor and an Analytical Spectral Devices (ASD) spectroradiometer at nearly the same time for each site. The results show that the reflectance values measured by both devices were closely aligned. Measurements of Bermuda grass vegetation on clear days revealed that the intra-day reflectance range at 710 nm narrowed from 12.3-19.2% before solar altitude correction to 11.1-13.4% after correction, and the coefficient of variation (CV) decreased from 10.86% to 2.93%. Similarly, at 870 nm, the intra-day reflectance range decreased from 41.6-60.3% to 39.0-42.0%, and the CV decreased from 9.69% to 1.53%. In summary, this study offers a fundamental tool for monitoring vegetation canopy reflectance in the field, which is crucial for advancing high-quality agricultural, grassland, and forest management practices.
