Human visual cortical responses to specular and matte motion flows
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015 Determining the compositional properties of surfaces in the environment is an important visual capacity. One such property is specular reflectance, which encompasses the range from matte to shiny surfaces. Visual estimation of specular reflectance can be

Rendering Deformable Surface Reflectance Fields [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, 2005 Animation of photorealistic computer graphics models is an important goal for many applications. Image-based modeling has emerged as a promising approach to capture and visualize real-world objects. Animating image-based models, however, is still a largely unsolved problem.

A SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE RETRIEVAL OF LAND SURFACE TEMPERATURE USING A NEW REFLECTANCE BASED EMISSIVITY ESTIMATION TECHNIQUE [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2016 Emissivity is a significant factor in determining land surface temperature (LST) retrieved from the thermal infrared (TIR) satellite images. A new simplified method (reflectance method) for emissivity correction was developed in this study while ...

Landsat-8/9 Atmospheric Correction Reliability Using Scene Statistics
Remote SensingLandsat data correction using the Land Surface Reflectance Code (LaSRC) has been proposed as the basis for the atmospheric correction of smallsats. While atmospheric correction can enhance smallsat data, the Landsat/LaSRC pathway delays output and may ...
