UAV imaging provides an efficient and non-destructive tool for characterizing farm information, but the quality of the UAV model is often affected by the image’s spatial resolution. In this paper, the predictability of models established using UAV multispectral images with different spatial resolutions for nitrogen content of winter wheat was evaluated during the critical growth stages of winter wheat over the period 2021–2022. Feature selection based on UAV image reflectance, vegetation indices, and texture was conducted using the competitive adaptive reweighted sampling, and the random forest machine learning method was used to construct the prediction model with the optimized features. Results showed that model performance increased with decreasing image spatial resolution with a R2, a RMSE, a MAE and a RPD of 0.84, 4.57 g m−2, 2.50 g m−2 and 2.34 (0.01 m spatial resolution image), 0.86, 4.15 g m−2, 2.82 g m−2 and 2.65 (0.02 m), and 0.92, 3.17 g m−2, 2.45 g m−2 and 2.86 (0.05 m), respectively. Further, the transferability of models differed when applied to images with coarser (upscaling) or finer (downscaling) resolutions. For upscaling, the model established with the 0.01 m images had a R2 of 0.84 and 0.89 when applied to images with 0.02 m and 0.05 m resolutions, respectively. For downscaling, the model established with the 0.05 m image features had a R2 of 0.86 and 0.83 when applied to images of 0.01 m and 0.02 m resolutions. Though the image spatial resolution affects image texture features more than the spectral features and the effects of image spatial resolution on model performance and transferability decrease with increasing plant wetness under irrigation treatment, it can be concluded that all the UAV images acquired in this study with different resolutions could achieve good predictions and transferability of the nitrogen content of winter wheat plants.
