Integrating data from unmanned aerial vehicles and Sentinel-2 with PROSAIL-5D-driven machine learning for fuel moisture content estimation in agroecosystems by Jinlong Liu, Jia Jin, Jing Huang, Mengjuan Wu, Shaozheng Hao, Haoyi Jia, Tengda Qin, Yuqing Huang, Dan Chen, Nathsuda Pumijumnong

“…The results indicate: (1) The AWT fusion method effectively integrates UAV and Sentinel-2 data, improving spatial and spectral consistency with field measurements. (2) Calibration of the PROSAIL-5D model significantly improves the retrieval accuracy of equivalent water thickness (Cw, R2 = 0.847) and dry matter content (Cm, R2 = 0.735), both key parameters for FMC calculation. (3) Incorporating 70 % of the measured spectral data (UAV and fused Sentinel-2) into the PROSAIL-5D simulated dataset enhanced FMC estimation accuracy (R2 = 0.765), representing a 133.94 % improvement compared with using UAV data alone. …”
