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 ...

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, ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

• Leaf optical properties impact leaf energy balance and thus leaf temperature. The effect of leaf development on mid-infrared (MIR) reflectance, and hence thermal emissivity, has not been ...

This prospective study on reflectance confocal microscopy, a high-resolution and noninvasive form of imaging for skin cancer, investigated if the diagnostic method could improve accuracy results by 30 ...
