Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) mounted with hyperspectral sensors can obtain images of high spectral and spatial resolution in a quick and effective manner. Integrating UAV-based spatial and spectral information has substantial potential for improving crop AGB estimation. Hyperspectral remote-sensing data with more continuous reflectance information on ground objects provide more possibilities for band selection. The use of band selection for the spectral vegetation index (VI) has been discussed in many studies, but few studies have paid attention to the band selection of texture features in rice AGB estimation. In this study, UAV-based hyperspectral images of four rice varieties in five nitrogen treatments (N0, N1, N2, N3, and N4) were obtained. First, multiple spectral bands were used to identify the optimal bands of the spectral vegetation indices, as well as the texture features; next, the vegetation index model (VI model), the vegetation index combined with the corresponding-band textures model (VI+CBT model), and the vegetation index combined with the full-band textures model (VI+FBT model) were established to compare their respective rice AGB estimation abilities. The results showed that the optimal bands of the spectral and textural information for AGB monitoring were inconsistent. The red-edge and near-infrared bands demonstrated a strong correlation with the rice AGB in the spectral dimension, while the green and red bands exhibited a high correlation with the rice AGB in the spatial dimension. The ranking of the monitoring accuracies of the three models, from highest to lowest, was: the VI+FBT model, then the VI+CBT model, and then the VI model. Compared with the VI model, the R2 of the VI+FBT model and the VI+CBT model increased by 1.319% and 9.763%, respectively. The RMSE decreased by 2.070% and 16.718%, respectively, while the rRMSE decreased by 2.166% and 16.606%, respectively. The results indicated that the integration of vegetation indices and textures can significantly improve the accuracy of rice AGB estimation. The full-band textures contained richer information that was highly related to rice AGB. The VI model at the tillering stage presented the greatest sensitivity to the integration of textures, and the models in the N3 treatment (1.5 times the normal nitrogen level) gave the best AGB estimation compared with the other nitrogen treatments. This research proposes a reliable modeling framework for monitoring rice AGB and provides scientific support for rice-field management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14112534","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,31]],"date-time":"2022-05-31T00:25:12Z","timestamp":1653956712000},"page":"2534","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":58,"title":["Integrating the Textural and Spectral Information of UAV Hyperspectral Images for the Improved Estimation of Rice Aboveground Biomass"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8350-4014","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tianyue","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Agricultural Remote Sensing and Information System, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"},{"name":"Institute of Applied Remote Sensing & Information Technology, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"},{"name":"Ministry of Education Key Laboratory of Environmental Remediation and Ecological Health, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"}]},{"given":"Fumin","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Agricultural Remote Sensing and Information System, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"},{"name":"Institute of Applied Remote Sensing & Information Technology, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"},{"name":"Ministry of Education Key Laboratory of Environmental Remediation and Ecological Health, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"}]},{"given":"Lili","family":"Xie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Agricultural Remote Sensing and Information System, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"},{"name":"Institute of Applied Remote Sensing & Information Technology, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"},{"name":"Ministry of Education Key Laboratory of Environmental Remediation and Ecological Health, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4275-7004","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaoping","family":"Yao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Agricultural Remote Sensing and Information System, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"},{"name":"Institute of Applied Remote Sensing & Information Technology, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"},{"name":"Ministry of Education Key Laboratory of Environmental Remediation and Ecological Health, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8608-2697","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jueyi","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Agricultural Remote Sensing and Information System, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"},{"name":"Institute of Applied Remote Sensing & Information Technology, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"},{"name":"Ministry of Education Key Laboratory of Environmental Remediation and Ecological Health, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"}]},{"given":"Jiale","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Agricultural Remote Sensing and Information System, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"},{"name":"Institute of Applied Remote Sensing & Information Technology, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"},{"name":"Ministry of Education Key Laboratory of Environmental Remediation and Ecological Health, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"}]},{"given":"Siting","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Agricultural Remote Sensing and Information System, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"},{"name":"Institute of Applied Remote Sensing & Information Technology, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"},{"name":"Ministry of Education Key Laboratory of Environmental Remediation and Ecological Health, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"87","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-0-12-387689-8.00004-7","article-title":"High-Temperature Effects on Rice Growth, Yield, and grain qualITY","volume":"Volume 111","author":"Sparks","year":"2011","journal-title":"Advances in Agronomy"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"573","DOI":"10.1007\/s10846-019-01001-5","article-title":"High-Throughput Biomass Estimation in Rice Crops Using UAV Multispectral Imagery","volume":"96","author":"Devia","year":"2019","journal-title":"J.
