Geomatics and Forest Engineering

Describing biophysical and optical characteristics of forests through computer modelling and visualisation

  • Measuring bidirectional reflectance distribution of forest elements (leaves, bark)
  • up-scaling to BRDFs of trees and forest along a fractal structure representation ( L-system), presenting an accurate visual appearance of the forest.
  • Integration with light algorithms (RENDERPARK model)
  • Validation of canopy reflectance (light) model with remote sensing reflectance data
