摘要： Accurately assessing maize crop height (CH) and aboveground biomass (AGB) is crucial for understanding crop growth and light-use efficiency. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) remote sensing, with its flexibility and high spatiotemporal resolution, has been widely applied in crop phenotyping studies. Traditional canopy height models (CHMs) are significantly influenced by image resolution and meteorological factors. In contrast, the accumulated incremental height (AIH) extracted from point cloud data offers a more accurate estimation of CH. In this study, vegetation indices and structural features were extracted from optical imagery, nadir and oblique photography, and LiDAR point cloud data. Optuna-optimized models, including random forest regression (RFR), light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM), gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT), and support vector regression (SVR), were employed to estimate maize AGB. Results show that AIH99 has higher accuracy in estimating CH. LiDAR demonstrated the highest accuracy, while oblique photography and nadir photography point clouds were slightly less accurate. Fusion of multi-source data achieved higher estimation accuracy than single-sensor data. Embedding structural features can mitigate spectral saturation, with R2 ranging from 0.704 to 0.939 and RMSE ranging from 0.338 to 1.899 t/hm2. During the entire growth cycle, the R2 for LightGBM and RFR were 0.887 and 0.878, with an RMSE of 1.75 and 1.76 t/hm2. LightGBM and RFR also performed well across different growth stages, while SVR showed the poorest performance. As the amount of nitrogen application gradually decreases, the accumulation and accumulation rate of AGB also gradually decrease. This high-throughput crop-phenotyping analysis method offers advantages, such as speed and high accuracy, providing valuable references for precision agriculture management in maize fields.
