Anisotropy index (ANIX), which is defined as the ratio between the maximum and minimum
reflectance factors in the principal plane, has been applied in characterizing the optical …

Spectral indices are popular and simple mathematical methods for estimating leaf
biochemical parameters from spectral reflectance information. However, the estimation …

Currently, soil salinization is a serious problem affecting agricultural production and human
settlements. Remote sensing techniques have the advantages of a large monitoring range …

Leaf bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) is partly controlled by the specular
reflection from the leaf surface, which does not convey information about leaf biochemical …

Optical remote sensing is one of the most popular methods for estimating leaf nitrogen
concentration (LNC). This nondestructive approach based on reflected intensity …

Optical properties of light reflected from leaves can be described by both intensity and
polarization, however, most studies focused on the intensity in the estimation of plant leaf …

The coded aperture snapshot spectral imager (CASSI) system measures multidimensional
signals by compressing the original signal into a 2-D snapshot and then reconstructs the …

Understanding the optical properties of light reflected from snow surfaces is fundamental for
remote sensing-based characterizations of snow properties and quantification of radiative …

The Mueller matrix dependence on an objects' albedo and surface texture are measured
and these effects are used to inform modifications to a microfacet model for polarized light …

Polarized signal has been proven to be sensitive to the aerosol optical depth and aerosol
microphysical parameters. However, in most current applications, the directions of …
