Winter Wheat Canopy Height Extraction from UAV-Based Point Cloud Data with a Moving Cuboid Filter
Plant height can be used as an indicator to estimate crop phenology and biomass. The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-based point cloud data derived from photogrammetry methods contains the structural information of crops which could be used to retrieve ...

Sar algorithms for crop height estimation: The paddy-rice case study
This paper presents a study of the sensibility of the incoherent (electromagnetic backscattering model) and coherent (DInSAR and PolInSAR inversion) crop height estimation methods of SAR imaging. The methods were compared for paddy-rice crop height monitoring with a TanDEM-X dataset.

Identifying crop phenology using maize height constructed from multi-sources images
In agriculture, crop height is an important indicator that is commonly applied for monitoring physiological-related traits such as above-ground biomass and grain yields. Timely and precisely acquiring information on crop height at a regional scale still remains challenging, and its potential effectiveness for identifying crop phenology is under studied.
