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

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 ...

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 ...

HunterLab®, the global leader in color measurement innovation, today announced the launch of the Agera® L2 Spectrophotometer ...

Through the use of a connected camera, GeoImage™ is capable of quickly and accurately measuring the reflectance of vitrinite macerals. As a tool that has been specifically designed for organic ...

Field spectroscopy enables scientists to measure how different materials interact with electromagnetic energy and therefore underpins the technology enabling us to view the world from the air or space ...

A new method predicts leaf optical properties from traits, improving canopy light modeling and photosynthesis estimates in ...

We have examined Pluto's near infrared reflectance by means of photoelectric photometry using a filter whose effective wavelength is 0.86 micron. The ratio of Pluto's reflectance at 0.86 micron to ...

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 ...
