Abstract
Three sets of directional observations with different sampling patterns and a geometric-optical model of forest BRDF are used to test the authors´ algorithm for physical BRDF model inversion. The results show that stochastic programming is the right mathematical tool for multiangular remote sensing. The experiments also indicated areas for further improvements of the algorithm and the BRDF model
