Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) combined with different spectral range sensors are an emerging technology for providing early weed maps for optimizing herbicide applications. Considering that weeds, at very early phenological stages, are similar spectrally and in appearance, three major components are relevant: spatial resolution, type of sensor and classification algorithm. Resampling is a technique to create a new version of an image with a different width and/or height in pixels, and it has been used in satellite imagery with different spatial and temporal resolutions. In this paper, the efficiency of resampled-images (RS-images) created from real UAV-images (UAV-images; the UAVs were equipped with two types of sensors, i.e., visible and visible plus near-infrared spectra) captured at different altitudes is examined to test the quality of the RS-image output. The performance of the object-based-image-analysis (OBIA) implemented for the early weed mapping using different weed thresholds was also evaluated. Our results showed that resampling accurately extracted the spectral values from high spatial resolution UAV-images at an altitude of 30 m and the RS-image data at altitudes of 60 and 100 m, was able to provide accurate weed cover and herbicide application maps compared with UAV-images from real flights.
无人机(UAVs)与不同光谱范围的传感器相结合,是一种新兴技术,可用于绘制早期杂草分布图,以优化除草剂的施用。考虑到在物候期非常早的阶段,杂草在光谱和外观上都很相似,有三个主要因素很重要:空间分辨率、传感器类型和分类算法。重采样是一种创建具有不同像素宽度和/或高度的图像新版本的技术,它已被用于具有不同空间和时间分辨率的卫星图像中。在本文中,研究了从在不同高度捕获的真实无人机图像(无人机图像;无人机配备了两种类型的传感器,即可见光和可见光加近红外光谱)创建的重采样图像(RS图像)的效率,以测试RS图像输出的质量。还评估了使用不同杂草阈值进行早期杂草测绘的基于对象的图像分析(OBIA)的性能。我们的结果表明,重采样能够准确地从30米高度的高空间分辨率无人机图像中提取光谱值,并且与实际飞行的无人机图像相比,60米和100米高度的RS图像数据能够提供准确的杂草覆盖和除草剂施用图。
