Using remote sensing technology to estimate biomass is more and more popular now. Remote sensing can monitor crop dynamically, in real-time, all-weather, also simulate process of crop growth by extracting remote sensing parameters. NPP (net primary productivity) was the first step for biomass estimation, and the CASA(Carnegie-Ames-Stanford Approach) model, one of the most popular biomass estimation model, was used for NPP estimation of winter wheat to realize the winter wheat biomass estimation in study area. This paper analyzed deeply both the NDVI extracting method and FPAR algorithm based on original CASA model. A large number of related articles were analyzed comprehensively, and the maximum value of light energy utilization efficiency was determined. Then we got an improved CASA model which was suitable for study area. Quantile fractile with winter wheat NDVI maximum probability distribution was extracted to determine NDVImax and NDVImin, and previous algorithm of improved FPAR with a correction factor was used in this paper. Solar radiation (SOL) around the area of the site data were used for the interpolation by natural neighbor spatial interpolation method. Temperature, precipitation and other meteorological data in the study area were used to calculate the real light energy utilization efficiency. At last, we took the above parameters into CASA model for calculating winter wheat NPP of study area. The study area was located in Handan city, Hebei province. The winter wheat at the county scale was taken as the research object. HJ-1A/B products were used as data support to estimate the winter wheat NPP and biomass of study area in 2014. Finally, the accuracy was verified. Results showed that the average NPP in March, April, May were 78, 297 and 320 g/m2, respectively. The difference was caused by growth characteristics of winter wheat in different periods. In March, winter wheat was in the green period, the leaf area of winter wheat increased gradually. In April, winter wheat was in exuberant growth period, leaf area was continued to increase, and the NPP also increased. In May, the winter wheat was gradually into flowering, grain filling, and milk stage etc, during the time most parts of NPP was more than 250 g/m2, which was consistent with wheat physiological characteristic, it showed that winter wheat grew well. And the average biomass of winter wheat in the study area was 1 485 g/m2, more than half of study area was between 1 500 and 2 000 g/m2. The correlation between measured biomass and predicted biomass of winter wheat reached significant level, R2 was 0.811 5, and the average relative error was 2.13%, the maximum error was 11.54%, the minimum error was 0.33%. Average predicted biomass was 1 807.54 g/m2, compared with the average measured biomass 1 720.74 g/m2, the absolute error was 86.80 g/m2. This study could provide theoretical support for estimating both winter wheat biomass and yield at country scale. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
