Abstract:Rapeseed is one of the important oil crops in China, and accurate biomass estimation can improve the prediction accuracy of rapeseed yield, which plays an important role in formulating reasonable planting strategies and increasing yield. In view of the high cost, poor timeliness and limited spatial scale of traditional manual monitoring of rapeseed biomass and yield, a multimodal feature fusion framework of remote sensing data, meteorological data and machine learning was proposed to achieve low- cost, large-scale and high-precision monitoring of biomass and yield. By integrating UAV high-resolution images, totally 599 sets of field biomass measured data, 327 sets of yield data and daily meteorological data, a multi-dimensional feature space containing vegetation index and texture features was constructed to construct a field-scale biomass prediction model. Then, the yield prediction model was constructed by using the output of the biomass model and field-scale feature data as inputs, and the optimized machine learning model was used in the multi-dimensional feature space generated by the fusion of satellite remote sensing data and county-level meteorological data to achieve yield prediction at the county level. The results showed that the biomass prediction model based on XGB got the best R2 (0. 788 8), and the mean square error of the yield prediction model based on random forest, which took the biomass prediction value as one of the key feature data, was 0. 135 3 t2 / hm4 . Finally, the model was extrapolated to eight districts and counties in Jingzhou City, the largest rapeseed growing city in Hubei Province, and achieved an average accuracy of 72% (up to 91. 97% )under complex conditions that did not rely on biomass truth value and high county heterogeneity. Finally, under the dual challenges of multimodal data fusion and scale migration, high-precision, high efficiency and low cost field-scale and county-level rapeseed biomass monitoring and yield prediction were realized, which provided an effective reference for regional crop monitoring.
