Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of data processing, and in particular to a system and method for measuring leaf area index of urban native plants. Background Art

[0002] Leaf Area Index (LAI) is an important parameter in plant ecology. It is a key indicator for measuring plant canopy density and leaf area, and is widely used in ecosystem health monitoring, crop growth analysis, forest resource assessment and other fields. Traditional leaf area index measurement methods mainly rely on direct measurement of leaf area or indirect measurement using optical instruments. However, these methods have problems such as complex operation, long time consumption, high cost, and limited accuracy, especially in large-scale measurements and complex vegetation environments.

[0003] With the acceleration of urbanization, the importance of urban greening and vegetation monitoring has become increasingly prominent. As native plant groups that adapt to local climatic conditions, urban native plants are of great significance to the maintenance and sustainable development of the ecological environment. Therefore, how to accurately, efficiently and automatically measure and monitor the leaf area index of urban native plants has become a key technical problem in vegetation ecological monitoring and urban environmental management.

[0004] In the existing technology, the method of calculating leaf area index through image processing and remote sensing technology has gradually gained attention. However, most of the existing image processing methods rely on simple image segmentation algorithms, which are difficult to accurately segment the leaf area under complex backgrounds, resulting in errors in the measurement results. At the same time, the application of multi-temporal data processing and spatial distribution analysis of leaf area index in the existing technology is relatively limited and cannot meet the needs of accurate prediction and monitoring of large-scale areas. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a system that integrates modern image processing algorithms and spatial interpolation technology to automatically, efficiently and accurately complete the measurement and analysis of leaf area index of urban native plants.

[0028] Among them, X t is the LAI value at a certain moment, εt is the error term, ai and β j are model parameters.

[0029] The system combines with a GPS module to collect the geographical coordinates of data points so as to generate a spatial distribution map of the leaf area index.
