Abstract
A rapid monitoring and discrimination method for drought conditions in summer maize based on chlorophyll content includes: 1) Obtaining multi-spectral imagery through UAV multi-payload low-altitude remote sensing technology and measuring chlorophyll content on the ground. Additionally, calculating vegetation indices including Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI), and Renormalized Difference Vegetation Index (RENDVI). 2) Selecting vegetation indices and constructing regression equations with measured chlorophyll content during different growth stages. The regression equation with the highest correlation for each growth stage is chosen as the optimal model equation for that particular stage. 3) Using the optimal model equations to retrieve chlorophyll content for each period and determining thresholds for chlorophyll content across different drought levels through calibration. 4) Calculating the required vegetation indices from real-time multi-spectral imagery of the field under test, retrieving chlorophyll content, and comparing it with the established thresholds to assess the real-time drought level.
