The Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) provides a quantitative means of characterising how light is reflected from a surface. It is defined as the ratio of radiance scattered by ...

Early detection of declining forest health is critical for the timely intervention and treatment of droughted and diseased ...

Precision farming, which relies on spatially heterogeneous application of fertilizers, biologically active compounds, pesticides, etc., is one of the leading trends in modern agricultural science. A ...

One of the most popular techniques for material identification is single bounce ATR spectroscopy. However, in some cases, the specular reflectance sampling technique may still be necessary. Much like ...

A research team has developed a new hybrid artificial intelligence framework that can accurately estimate leaf nitrogen content without relying on labor-intensive field measurements.

High-throughput, noninvasive field phenotyping has revealed genetic variation in crop morphological, developmental, and agronomic traits, but rapid measurements of the underlying physiological and ...

Measures total hemispherical reflectance, 3 to >35 micrometers, and performs integrated total hemispheric reflectance measurement, 250 nm to 2500 nm. The TESA 2000, by virtue of an advanced optical ...

The Agera L2 reinforces HunterLab's leadership in color measurement by giving quality control teams a powerful tool to capture, quantify, and interpret color data with greater precision; helping them ...
