Abstract: Using drones to monitor soil moisture is low-cost, convenient, fast and accurate, and has important practical significance for intelligent management of farmland areas. This study selected Liangfeng Farm as the research area, where a drone equipped with a multispectral camera is used to monitor soil moisture. Through gray correlation screening, soil moisture sensitive spectral data are selected, and regression analysis was performed with the measured soil moisture data to construct a soil moisture inversion model based on UAV multispectral remote sensing. Through comparative analysis of the results of the NIR-RE-G model and the B-R-G-RE-NIR model, it is found that the determination coefficient R2 is both greater than 0.77. The B-R-G-RE-NIR model is better than the NIR-RE-G model in terms of accuracy evaluation results of R2 and RMSE, so the overall inversion results of both models have higher accuracy. Therefore, this study verified the effectiveness and feasibility of the NIR-RE-G model and the B-R-G-RE-NIR model in soil moisture monitoring in this region, which provides an effective method and reliable reference for rapid monitoring of soil moisture in large-scale farmland.
