Title: Adaptation of a bidirectional reflectance model including the hot‐spot to an optically thin canopy
Abstract:This model presents an improvement of the original model by Verstraete et al., (1990) in order to account for the effects due to an underlying soil below the vegetation canopy.

The unscattered and singly scattered by the leaves components are solved exactly using an analytical hot‐spot description. The multiply scattered component is approximated on the basis of a Discrete Ordinates Method reduced to a one‐angle problem and assuming isotropic scattering. This model is then compared to others existing reference models and it is also used in an inversion procedure to examine its performances for real remote sensing applications.Read More
