The maize leaf area index (LAI) is a key parameter for reflecting growth and yield of maize, and the pollination stage being crucial for determining ear kernel number and yield. This study aimed to identify an effective inversion method to accurately estimate the LAI of Nanfan maize at pollination stage. Nanfan maize at pollination stage was used as the study subject. Canopy reflectance data were acquired using a ULTRIS X20 PLUS hyperspectral imager mounted on a Jingwei M300RTK quadrotor UAV platform. Based on correlation analysis, 28 LAI-sensitive vegetation indices were selected. Two traditional empirical models, univariate linear regression (ULR) and multiple stepwise regression (MSR), and four machine learning models, partial least squares regression (PLSR), random forest regression (RFR), support vector regression (SVR) and back propagation neural network (BPNN) were employed to construct LAI inversion models. The prediction accuracy of different vegetation indices and regression algorithms was compared, and the optimal inversion model was selected for accurately predicting the LAI status of Nanfan maize at pollination stage. Most vegetation indices exhibited highly significant correlations with LAI (P<0.01). Compared to univariate regression, multivariate regression models provided higher prediction accuracy. Among them, RFR, MSR and PLSR models achieved the highest R2 values, with coefficients of determination (R2) of 0.96, 0.85 and 0.80 and corresponding root mean square errors (RMSE) of 0.18, 0.35 and 0.41, respectively. By analyzing the correlation and sensitivity between hyperspectral data and maize LAI, and employing vegetation indices calculated based on hyperspectral information combined with regression algorithms, this study successfully developed a reliable LAI inversion model, and established a spatial distribution of Nanfan maize LAI at pollination stage based on the RFR model with the best inversion effect. The model would provide both theoretical support and technical guidance for LAI estimation and field monitoring of Nanfan maize growth and development.
