The aim of this study is to monitor the exact date of hybrid rice initial heading stage (IHSDAS) based on low-altitude remote sensing data and analyze the influence factors of RP. In this study, six field experiments were conducted in Ezhou city and Lingshui city from 2016 to 2019, which involved different rice cultivars and nitrogen rates. Three low-altitude remote sensing platforms were used to collect rice canopy reflectance. Firstly, we compared the performance of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and red edge chlorophyll index (CIred edge) for monitoring RP. Secondly, double logistic function (DLF), asymmetric gauss function (AGF), and symmetric gauss function (SGF) were used to fit time-series CIred edge for acquiring phenological curves (PC), the feature: maximum curvature (MC) of PC was extracted to monitor IHSDAS. Finally, we analyzed the influence of rice cultivars, N rates, and air temperature on RP. The results indicated that CIred edge was more appropriate than NDVI for monitoring RP without saturation problem. Compared with DLF and AGF, SGF could fit CIred edge without over fitting problem. MC of SGF_CIred edge from all three platforms showed good performance in monitoring IHSDAS with good robustness, R2 varied between 0.82 and 0.95, RMSE ranged from 2.31 to 3.81. In addition, the results demonstrated that high air temperature might cause a decrease of IHSDAS, and the growth process of rice was delayed when more nitrogen fertilizer was applied before IHSDAS. This study illustrated that low-altitude remote sensing technology could be used for monitoring field-scale hybrid rice IHSDAS accurately.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13010086","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,29]],"date-time":"2020-12-29T10:04:46Z","timestamp":1609236286000},"page":"86","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Monitoring Hybrid Rice Phenology at Initial Heading Stage Based on Low-Altitude Remote Sensing Data"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7710-7752","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yi","family":"Ma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6631-8968","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qi","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}]},{"given":"Xianting","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Life Sciences, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"},{"name":"Lab of Remote Sensing for Precision Phenomics of Hybrid Rice, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}]},{"given":"Renshan","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Life Sciences, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"},{"name":"Lab of Remote Sensing for Precision Phenomics of Hybrid Rice, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}]},{"given":"Yan","family":"Gong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"},{"name":"Lab of Remote Sensing for Precision Phenomics of Hybrid Rice, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}]},{"given":"Yi","family":"Peng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"},{"name":"Lab of Remote Sensing for Precision Phenomics of Hybrid Rice, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}]},{"given":"Bo","family":"Duan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}]},{"given":"Shenghui","family":"Fang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"},{"name":"Lab of Remote Sensing for Precision Phenomics of Hybrid Rice, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2101","DOI":"10.1080\/01431161.2012.738946","article-title":"Remote sensing of rice crop areas","volume":"34","author":"Kuenzer","year":"2013","journal-title":"Int.
