•Use the new model (the 3D-3T model) to estimate plant transpiration.•The Normalized Difference Ratio Index (NDRI) is proposed for the first time.•The 2D-3T model was converted to the 5P-3T model.•The temperature of the canopy was accurately obtained by a portable thermal imager. Crop transpiration...
