description

Abstract In this work we have proposed a two-dimensional radiance model that serves for interpreting the directional remotely-sensed thermal infrared data obtained over a vegetative surface when the effects of the shadows are minimal. The model was validated for different view angles from the measurements made with a radiometer placed on board a helicopter in two different citrus regions. And the root-mean-square deviation between the model predictions and the sensor measurements was 0.3°C.
