The P57 photos Using only the 57° direction allows to get better resolution But no more access to fAPAR (except at tetas=57°!) and fCover CAN_EYE

Some results CAN_EYE
Conclusion • Software available (for free) (www.avignon.inra.fr/can_eye) • Advantages: • Quick and easy to use • Accounting for clumping in LAI • Provides estimates of fAPAR and fCover • Traceability of the processing • Some encouraging validation results • Potential problems: • Importance of illumination conditions: diffuse for looking down-ward • Potential problems when small gaps (resolution) • Not yet full documentation and references!! • Future enhancements • Inclusion of Chen’s/Leblanc/Fernandes clumping computation • Processing P57 photos • Slope correction • More validation • Development of autonomous light sensors (dynamics) CAN_EYE
