Continuing from the previous presentation...
I Let’s say we are a researcherinterested in biodiversity andhabitat.
I We know forest structurematters, among other things.
I The sensors are somewhatsensitive to forest structuralattributes
I How do we use the sensors toget at biodiversity?

Parameter Estimation Procedure
I Since there are no “standard products” for forest structure,each researcher must estimate these.
I Regressions seem the most straighforward way.
I An alternative is to use physics-based models.
I These can provide intuition as to what is possible.
I ...and enable the intelligent use of the remotely-sensed data.

Parameter Estimation Procedure
I Today I will provide an overview of the basic physics behindthese models.
I I will also discuss the approximations that are used, and theirpossible effects on the results.
I You will see that these are straightforward to use.
I Simulations of forests relevant to your research area canprovide clues as to how to use the measured remotely-senseddata effectively to get the structural parameters you need.

Fractal Tree Model
I Model developed in late 1990’s.
I Fractal pseudo-random trees.
I Use Lindenmayer System:string-rewriting rules are used togenerate realistic branchingstructures, with needles andleaves.
I Each species of tree has its ownset of rules so it looks realistic.
I Both coniferous and deciduoustrees can be modeled.

Interaction of Light with Matter
3 mechanisms:
1. reflection
2. absorption
3. transmission
Conservation of Energy:Incident Energy = Energy Reflected + Energy Absorbed + Energy Transmitted

Raytracing

Radiative Transfer
For Landsat-type sensors implement the following algorithm:
I Keep track of the energy as itpropagates along each of the rays.
I Track rays through several bouncesuntil their energy is very small.
I Repeat for every object in the canopy.
I Also include the reflection from theground.
I Add up all the energy directed at oursensor.
And repeat this for every wavelength of interest. (Tree image courtesy of clipart.com)
