The Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) provides a quantitative means of characterising how light is reflected from a surface. It is defined as the ratio of radiance scattered by ...

Radiative transfer simulations were carried out for a variety of measured and modeled benthic bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs), incident lighting conditions, bottom depths, and ...

A research team has developed a new way to measure and predict how plant leaves scatter and reflect light, revealing that ...

In computer graphics, a bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) is used to model light reflectance properties at a surface, and is defined as the ratio of the radiance (incident light) ...

Lidar remote sensing has shown high accuracy/precision for quantification of forest biophysical parameters needed for ecological management. Although the significant effect of Bidirectional Scattering ...

By combining a custom-built optical instrument with physics-based modeling and machine learning, the study shows that leaf-level optical properties ...

SAN DIEGO, Calif., June 13, 2018 -- Dr. James Jafolla, President of Surface Optics Corporation, presented today at the 13th International IR Target and Background Modeling & Simulation Workshop (ITBMS ...
