Mike Barnsley & Tristan Quaife, UWS. GLC2000, Ispra, March Objectives To derive estimates of key biophysical properties of the land surface in a robust and consistent manner from SPOT-VGT image data: Albedo Leaf Area Index (LAI) / Biomass fAPAR NPP Land cover type

Mike Barnsley & Tristan Quaife, UWS. GLC2000, Ispra, March Methods Analysis of variations in detected spectral reflectance as a function of sensor view angle and solar illumination angle. Inversion of angular/directional reflectance signal against numerical models of radiation scattering (BRDF models) to yield estimates of surface biophysical properties Validation through analysis of ground data, plant growth models and upscaling.

Mike Barnsley & Tristan Quaife, UWS. GLC2000, Ispra, March Modelling the BRDF Find a mathematical model, preferably one based on the physics shortwave radiation transport and specified in terms of measurable biophysical properties, to describe the BRDF. Invert the model to estimate values for the driving parameters.

Mike Barnsley & Tristan Quaife, UWS. GLC2000, Ispra, March BRDF Model Inversion: Constraints Physically-based BRDF models are highly non-linear, requiring numerical (cf. analytical) inversion. Numerical inversion routines are computationally intensive and sensitive to the initial estimates of the model parameters. The models make assumptions about the nature of the surface properties (spatial homogeneity) that are typically not valid for coarse spatial resolution image data. The number of reflectance samples is typically small and they are sub-optimally distributed throughout the viewing and illumination hemispheres.

Mike Barnsley & Tristan Quaife, UWS. GLC2000, Ispra, March BRDF Model Inversion: Solutions? Potential solutions include: Simplify and linearize the BRDF models so that analytical solutions can be found to the inversion problem (so-called 'linear, semi-empirical, kernel-driven models'); Use alternative numerical inversion strategies, e.g. simulated annealing, to avoid converging on local minima in the merit function; Use 'black box' methods, e.g., artificial neural networks; Use pre-defined Look-Up Tables (LUTs) and interpolation.

Mike Barnsley & Tristan Quaife, UWS. GLC2000, Ispra, March Data Validation and Scaling-Up Currently comparing outputs from BRDF models with field measurements of biophysical properties. Upscaled using land cover classifications derived from intermediate spatial resolution satellite sensor images (Landsat ETM+). Temporal extrapolation using plant growth models (SUCROS2, AFRCWheat, etc.) and standard meteorological observations. Examining spatial and temporal correlations between model outputs and upscaled ground data.

Mike Barnsley & Tristan Quaife, UWS. GLC2000, Ispra, March Conclusions Demonstrated general utility of the multi-angle approach in general, and the inversion of BRDF models in particular: Directional reflectance variations provide an alternative means of distinguishing surface cover types (e.g., through MVA analysis); Considerable potential to estimate land surface biophysical properties (e.g., albedo, LAI and fAPAR) through BRDF model inversion; and Image data from SPOT-VGT are well suited to BRDF studies due to their excellent radiometric calibration and geometric registration.
