The Advanced Radiometric Ray Tracer: Ararat for Plant Canopy Reflectance Simulation

A Monte Carlo ray tracing system, known as 'the Advanced RAdiometric RAy Tracer' (ARARAT) has been developed as a tool for simulating radiance as measured by remote sensing instruments. The system takes 3-D geometric models of vegetation and/or surfac~ topographic data (Digital Elevation ModelDEM) with associated radiometric attributes, and renders a scene for given illumination conditions for ...
