Leaf area index (LAI) and plant area index (PAI) are critical biophysical parameters for quantifying foliage density of crops and trees. As such they may also be effective metrics to estimate the impact of leafy vegetation on microwave signals, such as the radiometer on board NASA’s soil moisture active passive (SMAP) satellite.

A New Method for Extracting Individual Plant Bio-Characteristics from High-Resolution Digital Images
The extraction of automated plant phenomics from digital images has advanced in recent years. However, the accuracy of extracted phenomics, especially for individual plants in a field environment, requires improvement.
