TL;DR: In this paper, a group of Canadian scientists acquired LAI measurements during the summer of 1998 in deciduous, conifer, and mixed forests, and in cropland.
Journal ArticleDOI
A four-scale bidirectional reflectance model based on canopy architecture
Jing M. Chen,Sylvain G. Leblanc +1 more
TL;DR: The geometric-optical bidirectional reflectance model presented in this paper considers four scales of canopy architecture: tree groups, tree crowns, branches and shoots, which have effects on the directional distribution of the reflected radiance from conifer forests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methodology comparison for canopy structure parameters extraction from digital hemispherical photography in boreal forests
TL;DR: In this paper, the retrieval of canopy architectural parameters using off-the-shelf digital cameras with fish-eye lens is investigated, which takes advantage of the sensor's linear response to light of these cameras to improve the estimation of gap fraction using:
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the main components of this international validation effort, including the current participants, their ground LAI measurements and scaling techniques, and the metadata and infrastructure established to share data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global mapping of foliage clumping index using multi-angular satellite data
TL;DR: In this paper, a global mapping of the vegetation clumping index is attempted for the first time using multi-angular POLDER 1 data based on a methodology that has been demonstrated to be applicable to Canada's landmass.
