Abstract:

Accurate estimation of the chlorophyll content of plant leaves by using hyperspectral technology is of great significance to monitor and manage plant growth trends and nutritional status. Taking Syringa oblata as the research object, aiming at the phenomenon that the large number of bands and strong correlation between bands lead to the increase of redundant information in the data, the spectral data were processed by convolution smoothing and second-order differentiation (SG-SD), the random leapfrog (RF) algorithm was used to screen the characteristic bands, and finally combined with partial least squares (PLSR) and voting regression (VR). The inversion model of chlorophyll content in plant leaves was established and compared with full band spectroscopy and five classical variable extraction methods. The results showed that compared with the original spectral data, SG-SD was an effective spectral pretreatment method to improve modeling accuracy; compared with full-band spectrum and 5 classical variable selection methods, the sensitive bands selected by the RF algorithm had the best modeling accuracy; compared with PLSR model, the prediction accuracy and stability of the VR model were better. In the present paper, after the SG-SD pretreatment of the original spectral data, a VR model was established for the sensitive bands selected by the RF algorithm, the variable number reduced from 204 to 35, the determination coefficients of modeling set and validation set were 0.944 2 and 0.951 4 respectively. Finally, using RF-VR model and pseudo color map technology, the inversion map of chlorophyll distribution of Syringa oblata leaves was obtained, which provided more intuitive information expression for nutrient distribution of Syringa oblata leaves. It was concluded that this method could provide technical support for the diagnosis and growth monitoring of the nutrient content of Syringa oblata leaves.
