Applications of the 4-scale radiative-transfer model in the remote sensing of boreal forests
Abstract
Remote sensing of forested regions depends greatly on the Sun and view geometries under which images are taken. A forest canopy radiative-transfer model based on detailed tree architecture named "4-scale" has been used in recent years to study the influence of boreal forest properties such as leaf area index (LAI), crown size, branches architecture, tree grouping, etc, on the bidirectional reflectance of different canopies. This paper presents …
