A modified semi-empirical model to retrieve crop canopy chlorophyll content

Vegetation chlorophyll is a key indicator in ecosystem. Operational chlorophyll content estimation models by remote sensing are needed. In this paper, some modifications were made to an existing semi-empirical chlorophyll content estimation model, a new estimation model was given and validation results are promising
