Analysis of the informative components for estimation of vegetation biochemical parameters using the reflection spectra

Abstract

An implementation of the independent component analysis for vegetation state estimation using the plant leaves' reflection spectra is presented. An interrelation between the informative parameters and the total concentration of chlorophyll in the leaves is investigated. Results of numerical modeling and comparative analysis with the experimental data and other methods are presented.
