abstract = {Emerging strategies and technologies in agriculture, such
as precision farming and phenotyping depend on detailed data
on all stages of crop development. Unmanned aerial vehicles
promise to deliver such time series as they allow very
frequent measurements. In this study, we analyse a field
trial with two barley cultivars and two contrasting sowing
densities in a random plot design over 2 consecutive years
using the aerial images of 28 flight campaigns, providing a
very high temporal resolution. From empirically corrected
RGB images, we calculated the green-red-vegetation-index
(GRVI) and evaluated the time-series for its potential to
track the seasonal development of the crop. The time series
shows a distinct pattern during crop development that
reflected the different developmental stages from
germination to harvest. The simultaneous comparison to
ground based assessment of phenological stages, allowed us
to relate features of the airborne time series to actual
events in plant growth and development. The measured GRVI
values range from −0.10 (bare soil) to 0.20 (fully
developed crop) and show a clear drop at time of ear pushing
and ripening. Lower sowing densities were identified by
smaller GRVI values during the vegetative growth phase.
Additionally, we could show that the time of corn filling
was strongly fixed and happened around 62 days after seeding
in both years and under both density treatments. This case
study provides a proof-of-concept evaluation how RGB data
can be utilized to provide quantitative data in crop
management and precision agriculture.},
