چکیده

Field goniometer measurements are a tool to generate a priori bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) knowledge for correction and validation of directional reflectance data acquired by airand spaceborne sensors. This study analyzes the diurnal hemispherical-directional reflectance factor data of an Alfalfa canopy measured during the Digital Airborne Imaging Spectrometer Experiment 1999 (DAISEX’99). We analyze the variation of measured and modeled spectrodirectional vegetation data, revealing that measurement noise is negligible compared to the variation due to the canopy’s anisotropy. The deviations of the spectral albedo (bihemispherical reflectance) and of field spectrometer nadir measurements throughout a day prove to be larger than modeled deviations. Calculated anisotropy factors quantify the spectral-dependent effects of the vegetation reflectance anisotropy. This paper is a contribution toward the generation of a reliable BRDF database by suggesting methods to preprocess and analyze observed directional vegetation reflectance data, with special emphasis on the spectral dimension.

Evaluation of Diurnal Hyperspectral Brf Data Acquired with the Rsl Field Goniometer during the Daisex’99 Campaign

A directional data set of bare soil and alfalfa acquired using the Swiss Field Goniometer during the DAIS Experiment 1999 (DAISEX’99) campaign is preprocessed and analyzed for its quality. Two different normalization methods to derive anisotropy factors are tested and discussed. The possible effect of varying reflectances on the retrieval of vegetation parameters due to changing sun and viewing...

Canopy Biochemistry Estimation Using Spectrodirectional CHRIS Data

Sun and sensor geometry cause spectrodirectional effects in remotely sensed reflectance data which can influence the estimation of biophysical and biochemical variables. Previous studies indicated that vegetation indices can be strongly influenced by such effects and thus impact the results. This study examined the uncertainty induced by changing view angles on statistical methods used for nitr...

A simple algorithm to estimate evapotranspiration from DAIS data: Application to the DAISEX campaigns

The knowledge of evapotranspiration is of great interest in many applications such as assessing irrigation water use. In this paper, a methodology is presented to estimate evapotranspiration using the surface energy balance model S-SEBI (Simplified Surface Energy Balance Index) and the evaporative fraction. The method is applicable under the assumptions of constant atmospheric conditions and su...

A Rainfall Interception Model for Alfalfa Canopy under Simulated Sprinkler Irrigation

Estimating canopy interception of water by plants during rainfall or sprinkler irrigation is a critical step for evaluating water-use efficiency. Most existing experimental studies and mathematic models of canopy interception have paid little attention to the interception losses of water by herbaceous plants. To better understand the canopy interception processes of herbaceous plants and to est...

Atmospheric correction algorithm for POLDER data.Case study: DAISEX 1999 campaign

This paper presents an algorithm to correct the effects of the atmosphere of POLDER hyperspectral and multiangular reflectance, paying particular emphasis to the aerosol effect. The data were acquired during the European Space Agency campaign DAISEX-99. The algorithm is based on the inversion of measured reflectance in two steps. First, we invert the POLDER reflectances to determine the three p...
