Obtaining yield information is time consuming and laborious for the whole spring tea industry, especially at the regional scale. Remote sensing yield estimation is a popular method used in large-scale grain crop fields, and few studies on the estimation of spring tea yield from remote sensing data have been reported. This is a similar spectrum of fresh tea yield components to that of the tea tree canopy. In this study, two types of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) hyperspectral images from the unpicked and picked Anji white tea tree canopies are collected, and research on the estimation of the spring tea fresh yield is performed using the differences identified in the single and combined chlorophyll spectral indices (CSIs) or leaf area spectral indices (LASIs) while also considering the changes in the green coverage of the tea tree canopy by way of a linear or piecewise linear function. The results are as follows: (1) in the linear model with a single index variable (LMSV), the accuracy of spring tea fresh yield models based on the selected CSIs was better than that based on the selected LASIs as a whole, in which the model based on the curvature index (CUR) was the best with regard to the accuracy metrics; (2) compared to the LMSVs, the accuracy performance of the piecewise linear model with the same index variables (PLMSVs) was obviously improved, with an encouraging root mean square error (RMSE) and validation determination coefficient (VR2); and (3) in the piecewise model with the combined index variables (PLMCVs), its evaluation metrics are also improved, in which the best performance of them was the CUR&amp;CUR model with a RMSE (124.602 g) and VR2 (0.625). It showed that the use of PLMSVs or PLMCVs for fresh tea yield estimation could reduce the vegetation index saturation of the tea tree canopy. These results show that the spectral difference discovered through hyperspectral remote sensing can provide the potential capability of estimating the fresh yield of spring tea on a large scale.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15041100","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,20]],"date-time":"2023-02-20T01:36:37Z","timestamp":1676856997000},"page":"1100","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Fresh Yield Estimation of Spring Tea via Spectral Differences in UAV Hyperspectral Images from Unpicked and Picked Canopies"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Zongtai","family":"He","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Artificial Intelligence, Hangzhou Dianzi University, Hangzhou 310018, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kaihua","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Artificial Intelligence, Hangzhou Dianzi University, Hangzhou 310018, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fumin","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Agricultural Remote Sensing & Information Application, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Agricultural Remote Sensing and Information System, Hangzhou 310058, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lisong","family":"Jin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Artificial Intelligence, Hangzhou Dianzi University, Hangzhou 310018, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rongxu","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Artificial Intelligence, Hangzhou Dianzi University, Hangzhou 310018, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shoupeng","family":"Tian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Artificial Intelligence, Hangzhou Dianzi University, Hangzhou 310018, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Weizhi","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Artificial Intelligence, Hangzhou Dianzi University, Hangzhou 310018, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yadong","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Artificial Intelligence, Hangzhou Dianzi University, Hangzhou 310018, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ran","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Artificial Intelligence, Hangzhou Dianzi University, Hangzhou 310018, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5556-0994","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lin","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Engineering, Zhejiang University of Water Resources and Electric Power, Hangzhou 310018, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6865-8656","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yao","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Artificial Intelligence, Hangzhou Dianzi University, Hangzhou 310018, China"},{"name":"Institute of Agricultural Remote Sensing & Information Application, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Agricultural Remote Sensing and Information System, Hangzhou 310058, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"China Tea Marketing Association (2022, February 10).
