Analysis of winter wheat stripe rust characteristic spectrum and establishing of inversion models

In this study, the selection method of characteristic spectral band and the establishing of inversion model to monitor winter wheat stripe rust using hyperspectral data is discussed. The correlation coefficients between the DI (disease incidence) at different stages of infection and the initial canopy reflectance spectral and the derivative of the reflectance spectrum were compared, respectively. The results showed that the derivative of the reflectance spectra has reached higher significant level with the DI than the initial reflectance spectral data. The initial reflectance in the visible light 680 nm wavelength and the near infrared 976 nm, 1010 nm wavelength were selected to do regression with the DI of winter wheat stripe rust. And some inversion models between the DI and the hyperspectral data or its conversion patterns like NDVI (Normalized difference vegetation index), RVI (Ratio vegetation index), TVI (Transformed vegetation index) and its differential values of the canopy spectral reflectance data to monitor winter wheat stripe rust were established. Meanwhile, those correlation coefficients were compared respectively, of which we found the pattern of vegetation index has more efficient commonly than initial canopy spectral reflectance data by aggression analysis with the DI. The paper also suggested that the possibility of developing a special visible/near-infrared sensor for the detection of the DI of winter wheat stripe rust theoretically. Else, the SRSI (stripe rust stress index) mechanism model was presented for the first time in this paper
