Aiming at the mechanism model are influenced by multiple random factors, this paper establishes canopy temperature models based on BP network and RBF network respectively. The models take the temperature, humidity, illumination, soil temperature and ditch depth in the closed greenhouse as input neurons and takes canopy temperature as the output neuron. The results show that both models can well predict ditch-cultivated crop canopy temperature. The mean error between the simulation value and measured value of BP network model is 0.8408℃, and root-mean-square error of 0.5789℃. Actual output and expected output of RBF network model differ little, mean error of 0.2236℃ and root-mean-square error of 0.3496℃. In contrast, RBF network model can more accurately predict crop canopy temperature of ditch-cultivated than BP network model.
