Measurements On Directional Reflectance And Acquisition Of Stereo Information By Caesar

Abstract

CAESAR, a multispectral pushbroom-scanner, was developed in The Netherlands within the framework of the National Remote Sensing Programme. In 1988 the scanner became available for specific remote sensing research. CAESAR is capable of obtaining information on the directional reflectance of objects on the ground by the acquisition of multispectral data in different look modes. This information is used to improve crop classifications and to model atmospheric correction of CAESAR data. SAILH canopy reflectance model simulations are compared with the radiance values measured by CAESAR. The data acquired in different look modes are used to obtain stereo information.
