Simulating Multi-Directional Narrowband Reflectance of the Earth’s Surface Using ADAM (A Surface Reflectance Database for ESA’s Earth Observation Missions) [PDF]
The ADAM (A Surface Reflectance Database for ESA’s Earth Observation Missions) product (a climatological database coupled to its companion calculation toolkit) enables users to simulate realistic hyperspectral and directional global Earth surface ...

Retinal nerve fiber layer reflectometry must consider directional reflectance. [PDF]
Recent studies reveal that measurements of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) reflectance provide more sensitive detection of glaucomatous damage than RNFL thickness, but most do not consider directional reflectance of the RNFL, an important source of ...

Reflectometers for Absolute and Relative Reflectance Measurements in the Mid-IR Region at Vacuum
We demonstrated spectral reflectometers for two types of reflectances, absolute and relative, of diffusely reflecting surfaces in directional-hemispherical geometry.

Fine-resolution mapping of microforms of a boreal bog using aerial images and waveform-recording LiDAR [PDF]
Boreal bogs are important stores and sinks of atmospheric carbon whose surfaces are characterised by vegetation microforms. Efficient methods for monitoring their vegetation are needed because changes in vegetation composition lead to alteration in their

Tree species identification in aerial image data using directional reflectance signatures
Tree species identification using optical remote sensing is challenging. Modern digital photogrammetric cameras enable radiometrically quantitative remote sensing and the estimation of reflectance images, in which the observations depend largely on the ...

Airborne measurements of directional reflectivity over the Arctic marginal sea ice zone [PDF]
The directional reflection of solar radiation by the Arctic Ocean is mainly shaped by two dominating surface types: sea ice (often snow-covered) and open ocean (ice-free).

Functional Data Analysis of Multi-Angular Hyperspectral Data on Vegetation
The surface reflectance anisotropy can be estimated by directional reflectance analysis through the collection of multi-angular spectral data. Proper characterization of the surface anisotropy is animportant element in the successful interpretation of ...
