Early detection of declining forest health is critical for the timely intervention and treatment of droughted and diseased ...

Recently the public has become aware of the potential of light field photography through the introduction of the Lytro camera. Light field recording allows an enormous degree of post-processing, ...

Monitoring forest health typically relies on remote sensing tools such as light detection and ranging (LiDAR), radar, and ...

An image printed on reflectance paper responds to the direction from which it is illuminated. The reflectance paper is covered with dimples that reflect light from different directions. See video ...

A research team has developed a new hybrid artificial intelligence framework that can accurately estimate leaf nitrogen content without relying on labor-intensive field measurements.

UV-visible-NIR microspectroscopic analysis of thin films on semiconductor wafers is one of the most common applications of the technique. In the UV-visible-NIR range, the interference spectra can be ...

The Earth's albedo is a fundamental atmospheric parameter having deep implications for temperature and climate change. Experiments have been performed to monitor it over the past two decades to reveal ...

One of the most popular techniques for material identification is single bounce ATR spectroscopy. However, in some cases, the specular reflectance sampling technique may still be necessary. Much like ...

Earth is appearing to dim, and climate change is a big reason why, according to research. The conclusion came from a group of researchers that studied two decades' worth of data on earthshine, or the ...
