Abstract

Information extraction from remote sensing data with the help of physical modeling requires an approach that retains the 3D complexity of covers while dealing with a limited data volume, i.e. the scene is made of a small number of complex elements. Therefore, the authors developed a methodology that couples a high and a medium reflectance models: output (i.e. mean transmittance and scattering phase functions) quantities of the high resolution model are used as input parameters to the medium resolution model. Preliminary results are encouraging
