Three-Component Model for Bidirectional Reflection Distribution Function of Thermal Coating Surfaces

We present a bidirectional reflection distribution function （BRDF） model for thermal coating surfaces based on a three-component reflection assumption, in which the specular reflection is given according to the microfacet theory and Snell＇s law, the multiple reflection is considered Nth cosine distributed, and the volume scattering is uniformly distributed in reflection angles according to the experimental results. This model describes the reflection characteristics of thermal coating surfaces more completely and reasonably. Simulation and measurement results of two thermal coating samples SR107 and S781 are given to validate that this three-component model significantly improves the modeling accuracy for thermal coating surfaces compared with the existing BRDF models.

Model of bidirectional reflectance distribution function for metallic materials

Based on the three-component assumption that the reflection is divided into specular reflection,directional diffuse reflection,and ideal diffuse reflection,a bidirectional reflectance distribution function（BRDF） model of metallic materials is presented.Compared with the two-component assumption that the reflection is composed of specular reflection and diffuse reflection,the three-component assumption divides the diffuse reflection into directional diffuse and ideal diffuse reflection.This model effectively resolves the problem that constant diffuse reflection leads to considerable error for metallic materials.Simulation and measurement results validate that this three-component BRDF model can improve the modeling accuracy significantly and describe the reflection properties in the hemisphere space precisely for the metallic materials.

Bidirectional reflectance one-dimensional rough distribution function modeling of surface in the microwave band

In this study, the bidirectional reflectance distribution function （BRDF） of a one-dimensional conducting rough surface and a dielectric rough surface are calculated with different frequencies and roughness values in the microwave band by using the method of moments, and the relationship between the bistatic scattering coefficient and the BRDF of a rough surface is expressed. From the theory of the parameters of the rough surface BRDF, the parameters of the BRDF are obtained using a genetic algorithm. The BRDF of a rough surface is calculated using the obtained parameter values. Further, the fitting values and theoretical calculations of the BRDF are compared, and the optimization results are in agreement with the theoretical calculation results. Finally, a reference for BRDF modeling of a Gaussian rough surface in the microwave band is provided by the proposed method.

Vector Radiative Transfer in a Vertically Inhomogeneous Scattering and Emitting Atmosphere. Part Ⅱ: Coupling with Azimuthally Asymmetric Polarized Bidirectional Reflection over Oceans

The reflection of ocean surface is often assumed azimuthally symmetric in the previous vector discrete ordinate radiative transfer(VDISORT)and many other radiative transfer solvers.This assumption can lead to obvious errors in the simulated radiances.In this study,the vector radiative transfer equation is solved with a polarized bidirectional reflection distribution function(pBRDF)for computing the surface-leaving radiation from the lower boundary.An azimuthally asymmetric pBRDF model at visible and infrared bands over oceans is fully coupled with the updated VDISORT model.The radiance at the ocean surface is combined with the contributions of atmospheric scattering and surface properties.It is shown that the radiance at the ocean surface also exhibits a strong angular dependence in the Stokes vector and the magnitudes of I.Q.and V increase for a larger azimuthal dependence of pBRDF.In addition,the solar position affects the peaks of sun glitter pattern,thus modulating the signal magnitudes and the angular distributions.As ocean wind increases,the reflection weakens with reduced magnitudes of Stokes parameters and lessvarying angular distributions.

Degree of polarization based on the three-component pBRDF model for metallic materials

An expression of degree of polarization（DOP） for metallic material is presented based on the three-component polarized bidirectional reflectance distribution function（p BRDF） model with considering specular reflection, directional diffuse reflection and ideal diffuse reflection. The three-component p BRDF model with a detailed reflection assumption is validated by comparing simulations with measurements. The DOP expression presented in this paper is related to surface roughness, which makes it more reasonable in physics. Test results for two metallic samples show that the DOP based on the three-component p BRDF model accords well with the measurement and the error of existing DOP expression is significantly reduced by introducing the diffuse reflection. It indicates that our DOP expression describes the polarized reflection properties of metallic surfaces more accurately.

Visible characteristics of space-based targets based on bidirectional reflection distribution function

A precise modeling method of visible characteristics of the space-based target was presented based on bidirectional reflection distribution function (BRDF). The background characteristics of the space-based target were represented to build models of direct solar radiation and reflected radiation of the Earth based on blackbody radiation theory. The geometry characteristics of the target were analyzed to establish a surface equation of each surface based on its body coordinate system. The material characteristics of the target surface were described by introducing a BRDF model which considers the character of surface Gauss statistics and self-shadow and is obtained by measurement and modeling in advance. The relative positions of the space-based target, the background radiation sources and the observation platform were determined based on coordinate con- version to judge contributing surface of the target to observation system. Then a mathematical model on visible characteristics of the space target for the given optical system was built by summing reflection components of all the surfaces. Simulation of visible characteristics of the space-based target in orbit was achieved according to its given geometrical dimensions, physical parameters and orbital parameters. The results show that the method is effective for analysis on visible characteristics of the space-based target when single reflection is considered and its surface is regularly described in a surface equation, which provides a way to real-time calculation of visible characteristics of the space-based target.

It can correct the influence of angle factor in the nondestructive testing of outdoor fruits.

空间特性光谱反演及对户外光谱修正的可行性研究

户外高光谱探测可以快速获取样品的光谱信息,但受环境光线和样品二向反射特性的影响,采集到的光谱并不能准确反映样品的真实信息,对户外探测精度有一定影响。为了提高户外高光谱探测精度,提出了一种使用空间特性光谱对户外光谱进行修正的方法,以冬枣、红提、小白杏为研究对象,使用Walthall、Shibayama、Ross-li、Roujean与Rahman这5种BRDF模型反演3种果品的空间特性光谱,利用反演的空间特性光谱对户外光谱进行修正,之后分别建立暗室光谱、户外光谱与修正光谱的品质预测模型。反演结果表明:3种果品的空间特性光谱均有较好的反演效果,反演误差从低到高依次为冬枣、小白杏、红提,平均决定系数R2分别为0.957、0.947、0.927,平均误差分别为3.56%、4.90%、8.23%;5种BRDF模型中,Walthall模型的反演效果最佳,平均决定系数R2与误差分别为0.949、5.33%,Ross-li模型的反演效果最差,平均决定系数与误差分别为0.934、6.05%。户外光谱修正结果表明:户外光谱经过修正后噪声减少,光谱更为平滑,且光谱趋势与暗室光谱一致,受反演效果影响,冬枣光谱的修正效果最佳,而红提与小白杏的修正光谱中噪声较多。品质预测模型结果表明:3种果品的品质预测模型预测效果差异较大,从高到低依次为冬枣、小白杏、红提,可能与3种果品的品质不同有关;5种BRDF模型得到的修正光谱所建立的模型预测效果不同,但无显著差异;预测模型中,使用暗室光谱建立的预测模型最优,修正光谱建立的模型预测能力优于户外光谱建立的模型,表明户外光谱经过修正后模型预测能力得到提升。BRDF模型能够较好地反演果品的空间特性光谱,修正后的光谱与暗室光谱较为接近,修正光谱建立的模型优于户外光谱建立的模型,表明使用空间特性光谱对户外光谱进行修正的方法是可行的,可为提高户外无损检测的精度提供一种新的思路。

This paper retrieves the bidirectional polarization distribution functions (BPDFs) of the distinct urban cover in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region employing the high spatial resolution of multi-angle polarized measurements made by the Directional Polarimetric Camera (DPC).The BPDF operational products of MICROPOL and POLDER measurements were used to validate the BPDF products of the DPC,with the results demonstrating that the BPDF product of the DPC measurements accurately expresses the surface polarized reflectance.The polarized reflectance of distinct surface types in the PRD region was studied using the DPC measurements.The results demonstrate that the polarized reflectances of different surface types differ and decrease as the normalized difference vegetation index increases.The polarized reflectance of a distinct surface type in the PRD region decreases with increasing scattering angle.The basic theory of investigating surface properties using multi-angle polarized measurements is proposed.

大气湍流对LIF探测海面溢油影响的BRRDF仿真研究

及时定位海面溢油事故发生地并监测海面溢油信息对海洋污染治理和海洋生态环境保护有重要意义。激光诱导荧光(LIF)可搭载于无人机构建LIF雷达系统并应用于海洋环境监测。LIF雷达系统以大气为传输信道,大气湍流会导致信号衰落。双向反射再辐射分布函数(BRRDF)利用受激辐射荧光光子的权重、位置和方向描述物质的荧光特性,为LIF探测海面溢油提供理论指导。基于大气湍流理论和蒙特卡罗方法模拟海面溢油的受激辐射荧光过程,建立光子传输模型进行海面溢油BRRDF的仿真研究。仿真分析不同湍流强度下,光强闪烁、光束漂移、光束扩展效应对海面溢油BRRDF的影响。仿真结果表明,海面溢油受激辐射荧光信号具有各向同性,其强度与激发光的强度成正比。光束漂移效应对荧光漂移范围影响微弱,可以忽略;在弱大气湍流下(湍流强度参数σ_(R)^(2)<1),BRRDF所表征的荧光信号强度集中在2×10^(-5)~5×10^(-5)范围内,荧光光斑半径由1mm扩展至5mm,LIF雷达系统可以正常进行探测工作;大气湍流强度到达中等后(σ_(R)^(2)≈1),荧光信号强度在10^(-5)~10^(-4)范围内波动,荧光光斑半径扩展至15mm,此时大气湍流的不利影响无法忽视,LIF雷达系统探测到的荧光信号不够稳定,最终导致光谱不理想。在实际探测中,可通过适当提高探测器性能参数来增强系统的抗湍流能力。强大气湍流下(σ_(R)^(2)=25),出现光斑破裂现象,荧光信号分散并衰落至某一阈值之下,LIF雷达系统无法探测到荧光信号。文中的分析与提出的可行的研究建议,为LIF探测海面溢油相关研究提供参考依据,对LIF雷达系统设计具有一定的参考价值。
