Color indices (CIs) and vegetation indices (VIs) extracted from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery have been widely applied to the monitoring of the crop LAI. However, when the coverage of the crop canopy is large and only spectral data are used to monitor the LAI of the crop, the LAI tends to be underestimated. The canopy height model (CHM) data obtained from UAV-based point clouds can represent the height and canopy structure of the plant. However, few studies have been conducted on the use of the CHM data in the LAI modelling. Thus, in this study, the feasibility of combining the CHM data and CIs and VIs, respectively, to establish LAI fitting models for winter wheat in four growth stages was investigated, and the impact of image resolution on the extraction of remote sensing variables (the CHM data, CIs, and VIs) and on the accuracy of the LAI models was evaluated. Experiments for acquiring remote sensing images of wheat canopies during the four growth stages from the RGB and multispectral sensors carried by a UAV were carried out. The partial least squares regression (PLSR), random forest regression (RFR), and support vector machine regression (SVR) were used to develop the LAI fitting models. Results showed that the accuracy of the wheat LAI models can be improved in the entire growth stages by the use of the additional CHM data with the increment of 0.020\u20130.268 in R2 for three regression methods. In addition, the improvement from the Cis-based models was more noticeable than the Vis-based ones. Furthermore, the higher the spatial resolution of the CHM data, the better the improvement made by the use of the additional CHM data. This result provides valuable insights and references for UAV-based LAI monitoring.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14205087","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,12]],"date-time":"2022-10-12T05:31:18Z","timestamp":1665552678000},"page":"5087","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["An Investigation of Winter Wheat Leaf Area Index Fitting Model Using Spectral and Canopy Height Model Data from Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Imagery"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7122-5010","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xuewei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environment and Spatial Informatics, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou 221116, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9376-1148","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kefei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environment and Spatial Informatics, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou 221116, China"},{"name":"Satellite Positioning for Atmosphere, Climate and Environment (SPACE) Research Center, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University, Melbourne, VIC 3001, Australia"},{"name":"Bei-Stars Geospatial Information Innovation Institute, Nanjing 210000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suqin","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environment and Spatial Informatics, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou 221116, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hongtao","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environment and Spatial Informatics, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou 221116, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yaqin","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environment and Spatial Informatics, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou 221116, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yindi","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environment and Spatial Informatics, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou 221116, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erjiang","family":"Fu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bei-Stars Geospatial Information Innovation Institute, Nanjing 210000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4342-6293","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shuo","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environment and Spatial Informatics, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou 221116, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chaofa","family":"Bian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environment and Spatial Informatics, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou 221116, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Ban","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environment and Spatial Informatics, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou 221116, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"375","DOI":"10.1093\/oxfordjournals.aob.a083165","article-title":"Comparative Physiological Studies on the Growth of Field Crops: II.
