The invention discloses a prediction method for the net photosynthetic rate of a
population and aims to overcome the problems that it is difficult to establish a prediction regression equation for the net photosynthetic rate of a
population, considerable related data are needed in establishment of a prediction model for the net photosynthetic rate of the
population and prediction accuracy is not high. The method comprises the following steps: 1, acquiring proportioning data of spectral
radiance of every
wave band of visible light in a region, wherein a portable multispectral
radiometer is installed at a height H higher than the
canopy of a
plant in the
test region with an area of S, the proportioning data M_D of spectral
radiance of every
wave band of visible light in the
test region in different periods is obtained, and [0,1] normalization
processing is carried out; 2, acquiring data of the net photosynthetic rate of the population; 3, constructing a bionic kernel function; 4, establishing an SVM
training set and an SVM prediction set; 5, carrying out tool selection and parameter optimization on a prediction model; and 6, predicting the net photosynthetic rate of the population, which comprises obtainment of the prediction model Model, obtainment of a predicted value Predict of the net photosynthetic rate of the population and determination of reliability of the prediction model Model.
