چکیده

Geometric optical reflectance models provide a physical linkage between image data and forest structure. We developed a “Multiple-Forward-Mode” pseudoinversion modeling approach to produce structural lookup tables for Landsat Thematic Mapper images before and after 1993 partial harvests in New Brunswick Canada. Modeling results validated for stand density, crown radius, and stem counts enabled simple forest structural change detection.

Change Detection of Forest Crown Closure Using an Inverted Geometric-optical Model and Scaling

The physical based Li-Strahler geometric-optical model can be inverted to retrieve forest canopy structural variables. One of the main input variables of the inverted model is the fractional component of sunlit background (Kg). Kg is calculated by using pure reflectance spectra (endmembers) of the viewed surface components. To detect the forest canopy changes by the inverted geometricoptical mo...

3D modelling of forest canopy structure for remote sensing simulations in the optical and microwave domains

A detailed 3D structural model of a conifer forest canopy was developed in order to simulate the reflectance (optical) and backscatter (microwave) signals measured remotely. We show it is feasible to model forest canopy scattering using detailed 3D models of tree structure including the location and orientation of individual needles. An existing structural growth model of Scots pine (Pinus sylv...

Modeling Bidirectional Radiance Measurements Collected by the Advanced Solid-State Array Spectroradiometer (ASAS) over Oregon Transect Conifer Forests

A geometric-optical model of the bidirectional reflectance of a forest canopy, developed by Li and Strahler, fits observed directional radiance measurements with good accuracy. This model treats the forest cover as a scene of discrete, three-dimensional objects (trees) that are illuminated and viewed from different positions in the hemisphere. The shapes of the objects, their count densities an...

Deriving Regional Scale Forest Structural Variables Using Eo-1 Hyperion Data in Combination with an Inverted Geometric-optical Model

The potential of EO-1 Hyperion data combined with an inverted geometric-optical model for the retrieval of forest structural variables in the Longmenhe broadleaved forest natural reserve, located in the Three Gorges region (China), is studied in this paper. Based on the principle of Li-Strahler geometric-optical model, we retrieve the per-pixel reflectance as being a linear combination of four ...

Canopy Reflectance Model Inversion in Multiple Forward Mode: Forest Structural Information Retrieval from Solution Set Distributions

Remote estimation of canopy structure is important in forestry and a variety of environmental applications. Multiple Forward Mode (MFM) look-up table (LUT) inversion of canopy reflectance models is one approach for obtaining forest canopy biophysical-structural information (BSI). MFM provides inversion results from models that are not invertible directly, and has advantages in terms of software...
