摘要： Rapid and non-destructive potato above ground biomass (AGB) monitoring is a crucial step in the development of smart agriculture because AGB is closely related to crop growth, yield, and quality. Compared to time-consuming and laborious field surveys, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) remote sensing provides a new direction for large-scale AGB monitoring. However, estimating AGB using an optical remote sensing technique usually does not work well because of spectral saturation, but multi-source remote sensing feature fusion (e.g., fusing spectral and structural features) can mitigate that problem. Due to potato crop canopy structure and AGB change greatly during growth, the potential of fusing optical, textural (TFs), and structural features (SFs) for calculating potato AGB at multiple growth stages was unknown. In addition, the ability of optical features, TFs, and SFs and their combinations to estimate potato AGB had not been examined. Vegetation indices (RGB-VIs), TFs, and SFs were extracted from ultra-high spatial resolution RGB images and compared their performances for estimating potato AGB with those of hyperspectral vegetation indices (H-VIs) obtained from UAV hyperspectral images. The results revealed that each type of feature had its own advantages and limitations for potato AGB estimation. Except for canopy volume (CV) in SFs, the best H-VI, RGB-VI, and TF for estimating AGB in both single growth stages and the entire growth period were inconsistent. When estimating AGB with only a single type of feature, the model accuracy in descending order was SFs, TFs, H-VIs, and RGB-VIs. The fusion of any two types of remote sensing features improved AGB estimation model accuracy. Among them, TFs combined with SFs provided the best estimation performance. The fusion of RGB-VIs, TFs, and SFs produced the best AGB estimates precision (R2 = 0.81, RMSE = 207 kg/hm2, NRMSE = 17.40%). Since AGB was effectively estimated under different treatments in the field, the model applicability was confirmed. Using different types of remote sensing features, the Gaussian process regression method produced better estimation results than the partial least squares regression method did. This study provides an economic and effective method for monitoring the potato growth in the field, and thus helps improve farmland production and guide fertilization management.
