An unprecedented spectroscopic data stream will soon become available with forthcoming
Earth-observing satellite missions equipped with imaging spectroradiometers. This data …

Forthcoming superspectral satellite missions dedicated to land monitoring, as well as
planned imaging spectrometers, will unleash an unprecedented data stream. The …

Remote sensing is becoming an increasingly important tool for agriculturalists, ecologists,
and land managers for the study of Earth's agricultural and natural vegetation, and can be …

Satellite and airborne optical sensors are increasingly used by scientists, and policy makers,
and managers for studying and managing forests, agriculture crops, and urban areas. Their …

Topographic laser scanning is a remote sensing method to create detailed 3D point cloud
representations of the Earth's surface. Since data acquisition is expensive, simulations can …

Abstract The RAdiative transfer Model Intercomparison (RAMI) activity focuses on the
benchmarking of canopy radiative transfer (RT) models. For the current fourth phase of …

Foliage and soil temperatures are key variables for assessing the exchanges of turbulent
heat fluxes between vegetated land and the atmosphere. Using multiple-view-angle thermal …

The science of spectroscopy has existed for more than three centuries, and imaging
spectroscopy for the Earth system for three decades. We first discuss the historical …

A novel methodology is proposed to reconstruct 3D tree architectures from terrestrial LiDAR
(TLiDAR) scans. The methodology is robust and relatively insensitive to wind-and occlusion …

DART (Discrete Anisotropic Radiative Transfer) is a radiative transfer model that simulates
remotely acquired images. It was originally developed to work in the short wavelengths (0.3 …
