The Advanced Radiometric Ray Tracer: Ararat for Plant Canopy Reflectance Simulation
A Monte Carlo ray tracing system, known as 'the Advanced RAdiometric RAy Tracer' (ARARAT) has been developed as a tool for simulating radiance as measured by remote sensing instruments. The system takes 3-D geometric models of vegetation and/or surfac~ topographic data (Digital Elevation ModelDEM) with associated radiometric attributes, and renders a scene for given illumination conditions for ...
متن کاملThe Botanical Plant Modelling System (BPMS): A Case Study of Multiple Scattering in a Barley Canopy
A complex geometric model for describing the 3D structure of plant canopies is presented. The Botanical Plant Modelling System (BPMS) allows a complete (topologically accurate) 3D geometric description of a canopy to be constructed. The model can be used for simulating the optical scattered radiation field of plant canopies, soil, or other topography through Monte Carlo ray tracing, which provi...
متن کاملA coupled 1-D atmosphere and 3-D canopy radiative transfer model for canopy reflectance, light environment, and photosynthesis simulation in a heterogeneous landscape
Detailed knowledge of light interactions between the atmosphere and vegetation, and within vegetation are of particular interest for terrestrial carbon cycle studies and optical remote sensing. This study describes a model for 3-D canopy radiative transfer that is directly coupled with an atmospheric radiative transfer model (Forest Light Environmental Simulator, FLiES). The model was developed...
متن کاملComparison Between Linear and Nonlinear Models of Mixed Pixels in Remote Sensing Satellite Images Based on Cierniewski Surface BRDF Model by Means of Monte Carlo Ray Tracing Simulation
Comparative study on linear and nonlinear mixed pixel models of which pixels in remote sensing satellite images is composed with plural ground cover materials mixed together, is conducted for remote sensing satellite image analysis. The mixed pixel models are based on Cierniewski of ground surface reflectance model. The comparative study is conducted by using of Monte Carlo Ray Tracing: MCRT si...

Predictions of chlorophyll content (chla+b) or any other canopy biophysical parameter from airborne or satellite canopy reflectance are generally carried out through four different methodologies: i) directly studying the statistical relationships between ground-measured biochemical data and canopy-measured reflectance (Johnson et al., 1994; Matson et al., 1994); ii) applying the leaf-level rela...
