Two methods in Calculating winter wheat area with NOAA/AVHRR Digital Data
The green index method and the single channel method are presented in this papr to calculate the Area of winter wheat with the NOAA/AVHRR digital data. The first one is featured by the use of the characteristics that the green index of winter wheat in a peculiar growth period is basically a constant. By selecting such a period
the total Area of winter wheat can be derivde from the area of Several sample segment. The second one uses only reflectivity of the secomd channel of AVHRR to calculate the winter wheat area. The advantage of both methods lies in the unnecessary for atmospheric attenuation correction of the vegetation index and reflectivity.
