Abstract

The surface anisotropy plays a key role in the quantitative remote sensing inversion, which is usually described as bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF). Studies show that BRDF sampling has a significant effect on parameter inversion such as albedo. However, BRDF samplings are complex, and only specific samplings were considered in previous studies. In this study, we investigated the sensitivity of BRDF sampling to albedo and the normalized difference between hotspot and dark spot (NDHD) angular index based on the kernel-driven Ross-Li BRDF model. Albedo and NDHD calculated by a set of dense sampling airborne data were used as the reference data, and inversion results from many sparse samplings were compared to the reference results. The result shows the overall number, plane, range and symmetry in observing condition of BRDF sampling can affect albedo and NDHD estimation. Among typical sensors, POLDER shows best sampling while Landsat shows largest errors.
