Monitoring forest health typically relies on remote sensing tools such as light detection and ranging (LiDAR), radar, and ...

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

In this interview, Sue Berets, the Applications Scientist at Harrick Scientific, talks to AZoM about specular reflectance measurements and the difference between absolute and relative. Please tell us ...

A research team has developed a new hybrid artificial intelligence framework that can accurately estimate leaf nitrogen ...

Reflectance Medical, its device uses light -- specifically, near infrared spectroscopy -- to read patients’ blood chemistry without cutting into them, will help save the lives of soldiers wounded in ...

One of the most popular techniques for material identification is single bounce ATR spectroscopy. However, in some cases, the specular reflectance sampling technique may still be necessary. Much like ...

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) scientists are collaborating with researchers at UT San Antonio to study how space weathering can alter the lunar surface materials to help interpret regional and ...

An image printed on reflectance paper responds to the direction from which it is illuminated. The reflectance paper is covered with dimples that reflect light from different directions. See video ...
