Calculating the reflectance map.

چکیده
It appears that the development of machine vision may benefit from a detailed understanding of the imaging process. The reflectance map, showing scene radiance as a function of surface gradient, has proved to be helpful in this endeavor. The reflectance map depends both on the nature of the surface layers of the objects being imaged and the distribution of light sources. Recently, a unified approach to the specification of surface reflectance in terms of both incident and reflected beam geometry has been proposed. The reflecting properties of a surface are specified in terms of the bidirectional reflectance-distribution function (BRDF). Here we derive the reflectance map in terms of the BRDF and the distribution of source radiance. A number of special cases of practical importance are developed in detail. The significance of this approach to the understanding of image formation is briefly indicated.

The ability to make three-dimensional measurements of surface topography is important to the control of quality in the fabrication ofIC wafers. We describe a technique usingshape from shadingto produce a dense depth map from ICs imaged in the scanning electron microscope. The method minimises error terms to ensure the resultant surface is everywhere continuous and accurately explains the observ...

Water managers request maps of water quality parameters such as concentrations of dissolved organic matter, chlorophyll or total suspended matter. Rijkswaterstaat sets up a production chain for such maps using a hyperspectral imaging scanner installed in the Dutch coast guard aircraft. Water quality parameters are retrieved from remote sensed images using successively; 1) a module calculating t...
متن کاملNarrowband to broadband conversions of land surface albedo I Algorithms
Land surface broadband albedo is a critical variable for many scientific applications. High-resolution narrowband satellite observations contain important information that enables us to map land surface albedo globally, and validate the coarse-resolution albedo products from the broadband sensors using ground `̀ point/plot'' measurements. However, the conversions from narrowband to broadband alb...

Soil salinity undergoes significant spatial and temporal variations; therefore, salinity mapping is difficult, expensive, and time consuming. However, researchers have mainly focused on arid soils (bare) and less attention has been paid to halophyte plants and their role as salinity indicators. Accordingly, this paper aimed to investigate the relationship between soil properties, such as electr...
