| Abstract: | The current development of satellite technology particularly in the sensors like POLDER and MISR, has emphasized more on directional
reflectance measurements (i.e. spectral reflectance of the target measured from different view zenith and azimuth angles)
of the earth surface features mainly the vegetation for retrieval of biophysical parameters at regional scale using radiative
transfer models. This approach being physical process based and uses directional reflectance measurement has been found to
better and more reliable compared to the conventional statistical approach used till date and takes care of anisotropic nature
(i.e. reflectance from the target is different if measured from different view angles) of the target. Keeping this in view
a field experiment was conducted in mustard crop to evaluate the radiative transfer model for biophysical parameter retrieval
through its inversion with the objectives set as (i) to relate canopy biophysical parameters and geometry to its bidirectional
reflectance, (ii) to evaluate a canopy reflectance model to best represent the radiative transfer within the canopy for its
inversion and (iii) to retrieve crop biophysical parameters through inversion of the model. Two varieties of the mustard crop
(Brassica juncea L) were grown with two nitrogen treatments. The bidirectional reflectance data obtained at 5 nm interval
for a range of 400–1100 nm were integrated to IRS LISS–II sensor’s four band values using Newton Cotes Integration technique.
Biophysical parameters like leaf area index, leaf chlorophyll content, leaf length, plant height and average leaf inclination
angle, biomass etc were estimated synchronizing with the bi-directional reflectance measurements. Radiative transfer model PROSAIL model was
validated and its inversion was done to retrieve LAI and ALA. Look Up Table (LUT) of Bidirectional reflectance distribution
function (BRDF) was prepared simulating through PROSAIL model varying only LAI (0.2 interval from 1.2 to 5.4 ) and ALA (5°
interval from 40° to 55°) parameters and inversion was done using a merit function and numerical optimization technique given
by Press et al. (1986). The derived LAI and ALA values from inversion were well matched with observed one with RMSE 0.521
and 5.57, respectively. |
