European Journal of Remote Sensing, 2020 The advanced geosynchronous radiation imager (AGRI) is a geostationary sensor whose reflective solar band is calibrated by a solar diffuser (SD). The SD bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) degrades over time in the space environment ...

Two-dimensional BRDF estimation from polarisation
, 2008 This paper presents a novel technique for reflectance function (BRDF) estimation, which uses polarisation information and photometric stereo. The first stage of the technique is standard and involves the acquisition of polarisation information (angle and

Re-understanding of land surface albedo and related terms in satellite-based retrievals
Big Earth Data, 2020 Land surface albedo is a critical variable in determining surface energy balance, and regulating climate and ecosystem processes through feedback mechanisms. Therefore, climatic modelers and radiative monitoring require accurate estimates of land surface

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Imaging spectroscopy enables large‐scale biodiversity assessment, yet spectral diversity metrics are scale dependent. Across 15 NEON ecosystems, we find that spectral richness increases sub‐linearly from 3600 m2 to 4 km2, whereas spectral divergence shows weak or inconsistent scaling with area, underscoring the importance of scale‐aware interpretation ...

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Cycles of dieback and recovery drove mangrove forest dynamics at the Albert and Leichhardt Rivers (Gulf of Carpentaria, Queensland, Australia) over 36 years (1987–2023). Landward margins were the most affected by reduced tidal inundation when the alignment of low lunar declination suppressed tidal range and extreme El Niño phases lowered mean sea level.

Adaptive Sampling for BRDF Acquisition
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.We propose a data‐driven adaptive sampling strategy that predicts the optimal sampling pattern and count for BRDF acquisition from a single image, reducing capture time while preserving quality. Abstract The bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) describes the ratio of incoming radiance to outgoing radiance for all possible pairs of ...

PBR‐Inspired Controllable Diffusion for Image Generation
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Despite recent advances in text‐to‐image generation, controlling geometric layout and PBR material properties in synthesized scenes remains challenging. We present a pipeline that first produces a G‐buffer (albedo, normals, depth, roughness, shading, and metallic) from a text prompt and then renders a final image through a PBR‐inspired branch ...
