View source: R/water_netRadiation.G.R

Description

This function implements empirical models to estimate LAI (Leaf Area Index) for satellital images. Models were extracted from METRIC publications and other works developed on different crops.

Usage

1
LAI(method = "metric2010", image, aoi, L = 0.1, sat)

Arguments

method

Method used to estimate LAI from spectral data.

image

image. top-of-atmosphere reflectance for method=="metric" | method=="metric2010" | method=="MCB"; surface reflectance for method = "turner". Radiance for method = "vineyard".

aoi

area of interest to crop images, if waterOptions("autoAoi") == TRUE will look for any object called aoi on .GlobalEnv

L

L factor used in method = "metric" or "metric2010" to estimate SAVI, defaults to 0.1

sat

Landsat satellite version. "L7" or "L8"

Details

LAI is computed using the top-of atmosphere (at-satellite) reflectance value. LAI and other indices such NDVI, SAVI are used to predict characteristics of vegetation, depending on preferences of the user. Available methods are: "metric", "metric2010", "MCB", "vineyard" and "turner".
