| Abstract | Multi-angular remote sensing became a hot topic after the non-Lambert characteristic of the Earth's surface had been accepted popularly. A large amount of multi-angular remote sensing data has been obtained with the launch of multi-angle remote sensing sensors. Therefore, modeling of the bi-directional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) for the Earth objects is one of the main subjects at present. A large satellite-airborne-ground synchronous remote sensing experiment was carried out during March 29 to May 10, 2001 at Shunyi, China. The main observation target in this experiment is focused on winter wheat. To describe the BRDF of winter wheat in its early growing stages, we propose a geometric-optical model that is suitable for sparse vegetation, and then try to retrieve the structure parameters based on this model using the field measurements. The purport of the model and its inversion is to inspect the ravages of drought on the wheat just as it is turning green. The winter wheat in our measurement field is sparse and disperses without clear row structures in its turning-green stage. Typical row structure based models and uniform structure based models are not suitable. Our model is developed based on the Li-Strahler geometrical-optical model proposed in 1985. Each cluster of wheat is treated as a hemi-ellipsoid in this model. All of the leaves in the cluster are assumed to cover the hemi-ellipsoid randomly. Leaf area index and leaf angle distribution are two important parameters that are related to the surface area of the hemi-ellipsoid and the leaf distribution on this surface respectively. Leaf angle distribution is also related to the shape of the hemi-ellipsoid. Due to the large uncertainty of the number of hemi-ellipsoids in a unit area, we retrieve this parameter based on our model using the most sensitive samples first, and then treat it as a priori knowledge in the later inversion. The next stage is studying how to use multi-angle remote sensing data to invert vegetation structure parameters. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
