The Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) provides a quantitative means of characterising how light is reflected from a surface. It is defined as the ratio of radiance scattered by ...

Lidar remote sensing has shown high accuracy/precision for quantification of forest biophysical parameters needed for ecological management. Although the significant effect of Bidirectional Scattering ...

Some general results concerning the asymptotic behavior of the value of the empirical distribution function at a random point (e.g. the sample mean) are given. These results are then used to obtain: ...
