I have experience to determine LAI using surface energy balance method based on multi spectral satellite imaginary. Please have a look at these researchgate links.
You can use the methodology given in the paper: "Leaf area index retrieval using Hyperion EO-1 data-based vegetation indices in Himalayan forest system"
