Uav Images

To improve the efficiency and effectiveness of mosaicking unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) images, we propose in this paper a rapid mosaicking method based on scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) for mosaicking UAV images used for crop growth monitoring. The proposed method dynamically sets the appropriate contrast threshold in the difference of Gaussian (DOG) scale-space according to the contrast characteristics of UAV images used for crop growth monitoring. Therefore, this method adjusts and optimizes the number of matched feature point pairs in UAV images and increases the mosaicking efficiency. Meanwhile, based on the relative location relationship of UAV images used for crop growth monitoring, the random sample consensus (RANSAC) algorithm is integrated to eliminate the influence of mismatched point pairs in UAV images on mosaicking and to keep the accuracy and quality of mosaicking. Mosaicking experiments were conducted by setting three types of UAV images in crop growth monitoring: visible, near-infrared, and thermal infrared. The results indicate that compared to the standard SIFT algorithm and frequently used commercial mosaicking software, the method proposed here significantly improves the applicability, efficiency, and accuracy of mosaicking UAV images in crop growth monitoring. In comparison with image mosaicking based on the standard SIFT algorithm, the time efficiency of the proposed method is higher by 30%, and its structural similarity index of mosaicking accuracy is about 0.9. Meanwhile, the approach successfully mosaics low-resolution UAV images used for crop growth monitoring and improves the applicability of the SIFT algorithm, providing a technical reference for UAV application used for crop growth and phenotypic monitoring.

Remote sensing of crop growth monitoring is an important technique to guide agricultural production. To gain a comprehensive understanding of historical progression and current status, and future trend of remote sensing researches and applications in the field of crop growth monitoring in China, a study was carried out based on the publications from the past 20 years by Chinese scholars. Using the knowledge mapping software CiteSpace, a quantitative and qualitative analysis of research development, current hotspots, and future directions of crop growth monitoring using remote sensing technology in China was conducted. Furthermore, the relationship between high-frequency keywords and the emerging hot topics were visually analyzed. The results revealed that Chinese researchers paid more attention on keywords such as “vegetation index”, “crop growth”, “winter wheat”, “leaf area index (LAI)”, and “model” in the field of crop growth monitoring, and “LAI” and “unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)”, appeared increasingly in frontier research of this discipline. Overall, bibliometric results from this CiteSpace-aided study provide a quantitative visualization to enrich our understanding on the historical development, current status, and future trend of crop growth monitoring in China.
