Table 7 Summary of canopy height metrics used in this study for the estimation of aboveground biomass in wheat
Input variable | Name | Formulation |
|---|---|---|
Hmean | Mean height | \(H_{mean} = \frac{1}{n}\mathop \sum \limits_{i = 1}^{n} h_{i}\) |
Hmedian | Median height | \(H_{median} = median\;of\;h_{i}\) |
Hpercentile | Percentile height | 25%, 50%, 75%, 95% |
Hstd | Standard deviation of height | \(H_{std} = \sqrt {\frac{1}{n}\mathop \sum \limits_{i = 1}^{n} \left( {h_{i} - H_{mean} } \right)}\) |
CV | Coefficient of variation | \({\text{CV}} = \frac{{H_{std} }}{{H_{mean} }}\) |
