A guide to photometry and visible spectroradiometry

The term hyperspectral is used to refer to spectra consisting of large number of narrow, contiguously spaced spectral bands. In the field of remote sensing, the term hyperspectral is also used interchangeably with other terms such as spectroscopy, spectrometry, spectroradiometry and rarely ultraspectral. Spectroscopy is a branch of physics concerned with the production, transmission, measuremen...

rice cultivated areas and yield information is indispensable for sustainable management and economic policy making for this strategic food crop. introduction of high spectral and special resolution satellite data has enabled production of such information in a timely and accurate manner. knowledge of the spectral reflectance of various land covers is a prerequisite for their identification and ...

Age-related changes in tooth color have been described previously, however, the use of dental color for age estimation in forensic odontology has been limited due to the difficulty of measuring color objectively. This study presents an objective method for determining dental color to estimate the age of an individual. Dentine color in 250 teeth from patients ranging in age from 10 to 89 years w...

The following describes some recent advances in UV spectroradiometry as required by the optical fiber manufacturing industry. The demands from fiber process engineers have presented some severe challenges in developing accurate and reliable UV measuring instruments. Such instruments are now available to provide both intensity and wavelength data in the form of UV spectral distribution analysis ...
