Abstract :
In this paper, a new LAI retrieval method is developed. The algorithm borrows ideas from the principles and methods of ground LAI measurements, and adopts a new frame which differs from traditional remote sensing LAI inversion methods. The ground data acquired from two field experiments are used to validate the algorithm. In order to resolve the scale exchange problem between high resolution ground observation and low resolution remote sensing data, two high resolution remote sensing images almost having the same resolutions with ground measurements are used as transitions
