Recent Advance in Studies on Vegetative Bidirectional Reflecting Property
植被二向反射特性研究新进展

The rise and development of studies on vegetative bidirectional reflecting property over the international remote sensing circles are summarized.The author’s viewpoint on the classification of recent theoretical models is stressed that according to the models’ori- gin and the media unit they consider,there are only two types of models,the geometric op- tical model and the radiance transfer model.The recent status of the scope and the charac- teristics of the research is also introduced briefly.Then,an overall and detailed review on the related works recently,especially in latest few years,is developed in three aspects,the research on theoretical models,the measurement of surface BRDF,and the analysis on BRDF of remote sensing data.Finally,it is indicated that as the basic realm and the popu- lar domain in the research of remote sensing information sciences,the studies will surely be practical on the base of their accumulated and abundant academic fruits.
