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

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

A new method predicts leaf optical properties from traits, improving canopy light modeling and photosynthesis estimates in ...

Why is Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy Used? One of the main techniques for evaluating the optical properties of materials is optical absorption spectroscopy, or UV-vis spectroscopy. Most absorption ...

In this interview, Sue Berets, the Applications Scientist at Harrick Scientific, talks to AZoM about specular reflectance measurements and the difference between absolute and relative. Please tell us ...

Forests hide critical ecological information beneath dense canopy layers, where traditional imaging techniques struggle to access.

Reflectance Medical, its device uses light -- specifically, near infrared spectroscopy -- to read patients’ blood chemistry without cutting into them, will help save the lives of soldiers wounded in ...

A research team has developed a new hybrid artificial intelligence framework that can accurately estimate leaf nitrogen ...

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 ...
