First example: LAI
5
LAI is defined as the one-sided green leaf area per unit ground surface area (LAI = leaf area / ground area, m2 m-2) in broadleaf canopies.

Is sampling of LAI easy?(Hufkens et al., 2008, validation experiment in Ejin, northwest China)
Assume point measurement of LAI is reliable (unbiased).Quasi-homogeneous surface: LAI = 0.3
First sampling: FVC = ~0.40 LAI = ΣLAIi / (number of samples) = 0.069 LAIf = LAId × FVC = 0.12
Heterogeneous surface LAI = ΣLAIi / (number of samples) = 0.31if we know the coverage of vegetation (FVC) FVC = ~0.06 LAIf = LAId × FVC = 0.24
Second sampling: FVC = ~0.35 LAI = ΣLAIi / (number of samples) = 0.18 LAIf = LAId × FVC = 0.105

What are the implications ?
7
• Sampling and scaling strategies have great impacts on the estimation of ground truth.
• We were using existing sampling protocol such as VALERI, which could be wrong and ambiguous.
• For heterogeneous land surface, pattern plays an important role. It must be considered in designing sampling.
• More reliable, robust, and rigorously mathematically defined sampling protocol should be developed.

Volumetric water content, is defined mathematically as:
Vw: volume of water; Vs: soil volume; Va: air space.

What are the implications ?
10
• Point observation is most likely not a
representative value of pixel/footprint scale truth.
• Sampling for a coarse-scale pixel is a very
challenging work. It may cost a lot of labor and
money so more efficient method is needed.
• Representativeness error should be quantified.
• More reliable, robust, and rigorously
mathematically defined sampling protocol should
be developed.

Summary
Currently most of the validation protocols are intuitional, lacking of theoretic foundation.
Obtaining pixel/footprint scale truth is a great challenge. True value is defined as a best unbiased estimation at footprint scale.
New specifications, new sampling and scaling transformation methods should be developed.
Large scale ground observation techniques such as WSN, LAS, eddy covariance system, cosmic ray probe are emerging new hard techniques in the validation of remote sensing products.
More reliable, robust, and rigorously mathematically defined sampling protocol should be developed.
