Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Linear kernel driven models of the surface Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) are valuable tools for exploiting Earth observation data acquired at different sun-sensor geometries. Here we present a method that efficiently determines linear BRDF model weights using Tikhonov smoothing where the smoothing parameter lambda is determined via a Generalized Singular Value Decomposition with the root mean square error prescribed depending on the MODIS band. We applied this method to twenty-six different deciduous broadleaf sites across an entire year using the MODIS Terra and Aqua reflectance data products. Kernel weights and white sky albedo derived from this GSVD method were generally consistent with those provided by the MCD43 data products. The GSVD derived results had less sample variability compared to the MCD43 data products, attributable to the assumed smoothness between kernel weights in the Tikhonov smoothing method. The GSVD technique consistently outperforms MCD43 in the reconstruction of observed MODIS reflectance data, of which retrievals from this method will do a better job of estimating albedo and normalizing data to specified geometries.
