Abstract

This study utilized drone aerial operations to capture multispectral remote sensing images of peanut fields during three flights on July 10, August 22, and September 20, 2024. Band calculations were performed using vegetation index formulas to derive vegetation index data. In the study area, yield data was collected based on sampling regions. Using vegetation index data as the independent variable and actual yield as the dependent variable, linear regression, curve statistics, multiple linear regression, and machine learning methods were employed to construct and validate yield estimation models. The performance of each model on the validation set was compared, leading to the identification of the optimal yield estimation model. This research provides a relatively precise approach for estimating peanut yield based on drone multispectral remote sensing, achieving real-time and rapid monitoring of peanut yield in the study area. It lays a solid foundation for establishing an economical, applicable, and efficient peanut yield estimation system and offers a reference for decision-making in precision agriculture.
