Wheat canopy chlorophyll content (CSPAD) is an important physiological parameter characterizing the photosynthetic capacity and nutritional status of crops. Precision agricultural technologies are widely used for non-destructive monitoring of wheat SPAD, but the SPAD inversion models have limitations due to the incorporation of many principal components besides spectral parameters. In the current study, combined with the SPAD values measured by a handheld instrument, an effective approach for estimating CSPAD from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) hyperspectral data is proposed. A fusion modeling scheme based on spectral parameters was constructed by extracting (1) the traditional vegetation index (VI), (2) the sensitive-band index (2D-COSI) screened based on two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2D-COS), and (3) the geometric-angle index (SPADSI) constructed by combining the SPA and the PROSAIL model. Finally, the CSPAD estimation model was developed by using Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) and Support Vector Machine Regression (SVM), and their accuracy comparison and feature importance analysis were conducted at different growth stages.
