First: A few Simple Reminders about Spectral Signatures Thanks to Robin Weeks
Laboratory Spectral Signatures IICommon Urban Materials Healthy grass Concrete Astroturf wavelength Thanks to Robin Weeks
The Effect of the Atmosphere on Spectral Data Path Radiance (Lp) Atmospheric Transmissivity (T) Thanks to Robin Weeks
Effect of Topography on Scatterplots Grassy fields Flat terrain Terrain without topography Water/ shade Bare ground Terrain with topography Thanks to Robin Weeks
Vegetation:Pigment in Plant Leaves (Chlorophyll) strongly absorbs visible light (0.4 to 0.7 μm)Cell Structure however strongly reflects Near-IR (0.7 – 1.1 μm) Thanks to Robin Weeks
