How plants interact with sunlight is central to the existence of life and provides a window to
the functioning of ecosystems. Although the basic properties of leaf spectra have been …

The dynamics of pigment concentrations are diagnostic of a range of plant physiological
properties and processes. This paper appraises the develo** technologies and analytical …

There has been a recent surge of interest in remote sensing and its use in ecology and
conservation but this is the first book to focus explicitly on the NDVI (Normalised Difference …

Hyperspectral data (Table 1) is acquired as continuous narrowbands (eg, each band with 1
to 10 nanometer or nm bandwidths) over a range of electromagnetic spectrum (eg, 400 …

Most animals use a “green” spectral range to remotely sense the presence and vitality of
vegetation. While humans possess the same ability in their eyes, man-made space-borne …

Leaf pigment content can provide valuable insight into the physiological performance of
leaves. Measurement of spectral reflectance provides a fast, nondestructive method for …

Parameter optimization is an important step for support vector regression (SVR), since its
prediction performance greatly depends on values of the related parameters. To solve the …

Leaf chlorophyll content provides valuable information about physiological status of plants.
Reflectance measurement makes it possible to quickly and non-destructively assess, in situ …

Hyperspectral reflectance data representing a wide range of canopies were simulated using
the combined PROSPECT+ SAIL model. The simulations were used to study the stability of …

Reflectance spectra in the visible and near infra‐red range of the spectrum, acquired for
maple (Acer platanoides L.), chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum L.), potato (Solanum …
