摘要
The bulk properties of discontinuous vegetation canopies are estimated at subpixel scales by applying the method of moments to a linear stochastic geometric model of canopy-soil reflectance, and one set of multispectral observations without ground truth. The procedure involves the formulation of conditional moments for subsets of pixels that possess similar properties, and which can be identified through their common orientation in red-infrared scattergrams. The analysis is facilitated by assuming geometric similarity among the canopy elements and by formulating a sampling scale ratio in terms of the bulk geometric scales of the canopy and the pixel. Three versions of the method are demonstrated using two simulated scenes and an actual forested watershed for which aerial radiometric data and corresponding ground truth were obtained. © 1990 IEEE
