The ocean bio-optical model mainly involves the phytoplankton, colored dissolved organic material （CDOM）, inorganic suspended particle, etc., which have different contributionsto absorption and scattering of light. We decompose the emergent light of the ocean surface into the reflected light from the sun and the sky, and the subsurface scattering light. We estab- lish an ocean surface transmission model based on ocean bidirectional reflectance distribution function （BRDF） and the Fresnel law, and this model＇s outputs would be the incident light parameters of subsurface scattering. Using ocean subsurface scattering algorithm combined with bio-optical model, we compute the scattering light emergent radiation in different directions. Then, we blend the re- flection of sunlight and sky light to implement the real-time ocean color rendering in graphics processing unit （GPU）. Finally, we use two kinds of radiance reflectance calculated by Hydrolight radiative transfer model and our algorithm to validate the physical reality of our method, and the results show that our algorithm can achieve real-time highly realistic ocean color scenes.展开更多

The bi-directional reflection distribution function （BRDF） for both TM mode and TE mode were obtained and compared with the highly accurate experimental data from the earlier work. The incident wavelength varies from 1.152 μm to 3.392 μm and incident angle is at 300-70°, respectively. The results show that, the predicted values and experimental results are in good agreement. The highly specular peak in the BRDF is reproduced in the numerical simulations, and the increase of the TM mode BRDF is found to be attributed to the effect of a variation in the optical constant at the incident wavelength period.展开更多

文摘Row sowing is a basic crop sowing method in China,and thus an accurate Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) model of row crops is the foundation for describing the canopy bidirectional reflectance characteristics and estimating crop ecological parameters.Because of the macroscopically geometric difference,the row crop is usually regarded as a transition between continuous and discrete vegetation in previous studies.Were row treated as the unit for calculating the four components in the Geometric Optical model (GO model),the formula would be too complex and difficult to retrieve.This study focuses on the microscopic structure of row crops.Regarding the row crop as a result of leaves clumped at canopy scale,we apply clumping index to link continuous vegetation and row crops.Meanwhile,the formula of clumping index is deduced theoretically.Then taking leaf as the basic unit,we calculate the four components of the GO model and develop a BRDF model for continuous vegetation,which is gradually extended to the unified BRDF model for row crops.It is of great importance to introduce clumping index into BRDF model.In order to evaluate the performance of the unified BRDF model,the canopy BRDF data collected in field experiment,"Watershed Allied Telemetry Experiment Research (WATER)",from May 30th to July 1st,2008 are used as the validation dataset for the simulated values.The results show that the unified model proposed in this paper is able to accurately describe the non-isotropic characteristics of canopy reflectance for row crops.In addition,the model is simple and easy to retrieve.In general,there is no irreconcilable conflict between continuous and discrete vegetation,so understanding their common and individual characteristics is advantageous for simulating canopy BRDF.It is proven that the four components of the GO model is the basic motivational factor for bidirectional reflectance of all vegetation types.
