SU-8 based planar metamaterials with fourfold symmetry as selective terahertz absorbers
摘要: We report on the absorption properties of polarization-insensitive transmissive and reflective metamaterial absorbers based on two planar aluminium periodic structures and SU-8 epoxy resist. These absorbers were investigated using numerical simulation and experimental methods in the terahertz range (below 2 THz). SU-8 is a very promising organic material for dielectric layers in planar metamaterials, because its application simplifies the process of fabricating these structures and significantly reduces the fabrication time. The experimental absorption of the metamaterial absorbers has narrowband characteristics that were consistent with the numerical simulations. Power flow analysis in the transmissive metamaterial unit cell shows that the absorption in the terahertz range occurs primarily in the SU-8 layer of the absorber.

Development of a snow kernel to better model the anisotropic reflectance of pure snow in a kernel-driven BRDF model framework
摘要: The linear kernel-driven RossThick-LiSparseReciprocal (RTLSR) bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) model was originally developed from the simplified scenarios of continuous and discrete vegetation canopies, and has been widely used to fit multiangle observations of vegetation-soil systems of the land surface in many fields. Although this model was not developed explicitly for snow surfaces, it can capture the geometric-optical effect caused by the shadowing of rugged or undulating snow surfaces. However, in this study, this model has been further developed to better characterize the scattering properties of snow surface, which can also exhibit strongly forward-scattering behavior. This study proposes a new snow kernel to characterize the reflectance anisotropy of pure snow based on the asymptotic radiative transfer (ART) model that assumes snow can be modeled as a semi-infinite, plane-parallel, weakly absorbing light scattering layer. This new snow kernel adopts a correction term with a free parameter α to correct the analytic form of the ART model that has been reported to underestimate observed snow reflectance in the forward-scattering direction in the principal plane (PP), particularly in cases of a large viewing zenith angle (> 60°). This snow kernel has now been implemented in the kernel-driven RTLSR BRDF model framework in conjunction with two additional kernels (i.e., the volumetric scattering kernel and geometric-optical scattering kernel) and is validated using observed and simulated multiangle data from three data sources. Pure snow targets were selected from the extensive archive of the Polarization and Directionality of the Earth's Reflectance (POLDER) BRDF data. Antarctic snow field measurements, which were taken from the top of a 32-m-tall tower at Dome C Station and include 6336 spectral bidirectional reflectance factors (BRFs), were also utilized. Finally, a set of simulated BRFs, generated by a hybrid scattering snow model that combines the geometric optics with vector radiative transfer theory, were used to further assess the proposed method. We first retrieve the value of the free parameter α for a comprehensive analysis using single multiangle snow data with a sufficient BRDF sampling. Then, we determine the optimally fixed value of the α parameter as prior information for potential users. The new snow kernel method is shown to be quite accurate, presenting a high correlation coefficient (R2 = ~0.9) and a negligible bias between the modeled BRFs and the various snow BRDF validation data. The finding demonstrates that this snow kernel provides an improved potential compared to that of the original kernel-driven model framework for a pure snow surface in many applications, particularly those involving the global water cycle and radiation budget, where snow cover plays an important role.

摘要: This article presents some aspects of application the dispersive Micro-Raman Spectroscopy in textile fibers analysis. Research were dedicated to the methodology of surface enhancement Raman spectroscopy (SERS) studies on cotton fabric and possibility of its application in fibers characterization. Studies were carried out on dyed cotton fabrics modified by silver nanowires (AgNWs). Three reactive dyes (blue, yellow, red) and four color intensities (0.5%, 1%, 2% and 5%) were used. AgNWs colloid was deposited on undyed and dyed cotton fabrics by dipping and drying method. Dyed fabrics were examined by spectroscopic methods: FTIR ATR, Raman, UV-Vis Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy, Fluorescence Spectroscopy. Raman signal enhancement phenomena occurring on the silver nanoparticles increases the possibility of fiber and dye identification especially in the case of dyes used in cotton dyeing reveals fluorescence.

Selection of Informative Spectral Bands for PLS Models to Estimate Foliar Chlorophyll Content Using Hyperspectral Reflectance
摘要: Partial least-squares (PLS) regression is a popular method for modeling chemical constituents from spectroscopic data and has been widely applied to retrieve leaf chemical components via hyperspectral remote sensing. However, one persistent challenge for applying the PLS regression is the selection of informative spectral bands among the vast array of acquired spectra. No consensus has been reached yet on how to select informative bands regardless of many techniques being proposed. In this paper, we have composited four individual data sets containing a total of 598 leaf samples from various species to evaluate four different band elimination/selection methods. Results revealed that the stepwise-PLS approach was optimal to estimate leaf chlorophyll content even under different spectral resolutions, from which informative bands were identified. Informative bands, in general, include bands inside the near-infrared (NIR), and in addition, one within the blue range and one within the red range. With such combinations, the PLS regression models meet the requirement for accurate leaf chlorophyll estimation. For most PLS regression models, their accuracies decreased with the reduction of spectral resolution, but the stepwise-PLS approach could consistently estimate the chlorophyll content at different spectral resolutions (with R2 ≥ 0.77 for resolutions < 20 nm). The findings, hence, provide valuable insights for selecting informative spectral bands for PLS analysis and lay a strong foundation for retrieving foliar biochemical content using hyperspectral remote sensing data.

How big is an OMI pixel?
摘要: The Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) is a push-broom imaging spectrometer, observing solar radiation backscattered by the Earth’s atmosphere and surface. The incoming radiation is detected using a static imaging CCD (charge-coupled device) detector array with no moving parts, as opposed to most of the previous satellite spectrometers, which used a moving mirror to scan the Earth in the across-track direction. The field of view (FoV) of detector pixels is the solid angle from which radiation is observed, averaged over the integration time of a measurement. The OMI FoV is not quadrangular, which is common for scanning instruments, but rather super-Gaussian shaped and overlapping with the FoV of neighbouring pixels. This has consequences for pixel-area-dependent applications, like cloud fraction products, and visualisation. The shapes and sizes of OMI FoVs were determined pre-flight by theoretical and experimental tests but never verified after launch. In this paper the OMI FoV is characterised using collocated MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) reflectance measurements. MODIS measurements have a much higher spatial resolution than OMI measurements and spectrally overlap at 469 nm. The OMI FoV was verified by finding the highest correlation between MODIS and OMI reflectances in cloud-free scenes, assuming a 2-D super-Gaussian function with varying size and shape to represent the OMI FoV. Our results show that the OMPIXCOR product 75FoV corner coordinates are accurate as the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of a super-Gaussian FoV model when this function is assumed. The softness of the function edges, modelled by the super-Gaussian exponents, is different in both directions and is view angle dependent. The optimal overlap function between OMI and MODIS reflectances is scene dependent and highly dependent on time differences between overpasses, especially with clouds in the scene. For partially clouded scenes, the optimal overlap function was represented by super-Gaussian exponents around 1 or smaller, which indicates that this function is unsuitable to represent the overlap sensitivity function in these cases. This was especially true for scenes before 2008, when the time differences between Aqua and Aura overpasses was about 15 min, instead of 8 min after 2008. During the time between overpasses, clouds change the scene reflectance, reducing the correlation and influencing the shape of the optimal overlap function.

Unmanned aerial system nadir reflectance and MODIS nadir?BRDF-adjusted surface reflectances intercompared?over?Greenland
摘要: Albedo is a fundamental parameter in earth sciences, and many analyses utilize the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF)/albedo (MCD43) algorithms. While derivative albedo products have been evaluated over Greenland, we present a novel, direct comparison with nadir surface reflectance collected from an unmanned aerial system (UAS). The UAS was flown from Summit, Greenland, on 210 km transects coincident with the MODIS sensor overpass on board the Aqua and Terra satellites on 5 and 6 August 2010. Clear-sky acquisitions were available from the overpasses within 2 h of the UAS flights. The UAS was equipped with upward- and downward-looking spectrometers (300–920 nm) with a spectral resolution of 10 nm, allowing for direct integration into the MODIS bands 1, 3, and 4. The data provide a unique opportunity to directly compare UAS nadir reflectance with the MODIS nadir BRDF-adjusted surface reflectance (NBAR) products. The data show UAS measurements are slightly higher than the MODIS NBARs for all bands but agree within their stated uncertainties. Differences in variability are observed as expected due to different footprints of the platforms. The UAS data demonstrate potentially large sub-pixel variability of MODIS reflectance products and the potential to explore this variability using the UAS as a platform. It is also found that, even at the low elevations flown typically by a UAS, reflectance measurements may be influenced by haze if present at and/or below the flight altitude of the UAS. This impact could explain some differences between data from the two platforms and should be considered in any use of airborne platforms.

Urban Land Use/Land Cover Discrimination Using Image-Based Reflectance Calibration Methods for Hyperspectral Data
摘要: Irrespective of substantial research in land use/land cover (LULC) monitoring of urban area, hyperspectral data is not yet exploited effectively because of lack of local spectral resources and a practical reflectance calibration method. The objective of this research is to develop an effective methodology for urban LULC classification using image-based reflectance calibration methods: especially Vegetation-Impervious-Soil classes (VIS), using hyperspectral data. We used EO-1 Hyperion image of Pune City, India and assessed the suitability of different land covers as reflectance calibration surfaces. Furthermore, we performed LULC classification using different reflectance calibration methods such as Internal Area Relative Reflectance, Flat Field Relative Reflectance, and 6S for comparative analysis. Urban VIS signatures extracted from Hyperion image show distinct spectral curves at broader level. Flat Field Relative Reflectance method provides above 90 percent average overall accuracy. An advanced physics-based method such as 6S does not provide any added advantage over image-based calibration methods.

Bio-Optical Properties of the Inner Continental Shelf off Santos Estuarine System, Southeastern Brazil, and their Implications for Ocean Color Algorithm Performance
摘要: Optical characterizations of coastal water masses are important tools for a better understanding of physical and biochemical processes and aid the optimization of ocean color algorithms. In this study we present three optical classes of water observed during October/2005 and March/2006 on the inner continental shelf adjacent to Santos Bay (Brazil), based on remote sensing reflectance. ANOVA indicated a crescent estuarine influence in classes 1 to 3. Class 3 presented the highest chlorophyll-a and nutrient concentration and highest light absorption coefficients. Colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) dominated the light absorption in all classes and was strongly correlated to salinity in October/2005 due to the influence of the La Plata plume. The results indicated that CDOM dynamics in the Santos inner shelf are very complex. The performance of global chlorophyll algorithms was significantly smaller for October/2005 than for March/2006. As inconsistent changes in light absorption spectra by phytoplankton were detected between samplings, the results show that future bio-optical algorithms for this region must be optimized preferentially considering CDOM optical parameters.

Determination of Nitrogen Concentration in Fresh Pear Leaves by Visible/Near-Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy
摘要: A rapid and reliable method is required to determine the N status of pear (Pyrus communis L.) leaves during the growing season for timely fertilization to improve the yields and fruit quality. In the present study, we evaluated visible and near-infrared reflectance (Vis/NIR) spectra of fresh pear leaves using partial least squares (PLS) regression to determine the N concentration of fresh pear leaves. In addition, we studied the performance of modified spectra generated using different preprocessing techniques. A total of 450 leaf samples were collected from 6-yr-old pear trees of two cultivars, and randomly separated into two subsets (calibration subset [294 samples] and validation subset [180 samples]) after excluding outliers by using principle component analysis. Results showed that the model built using full spectra performed better than that developed using characteristic wavelength segments. In addition, we found that original spectral proved to provide better accuracy than derivative spectra. Among the studied preprocessing techniques, moving average smoothing (MAS) technique improved accuracy the most. Overall results suggested that PLS regression with preprocessing of full spectra using MAS is optimal method for modeling N concentration of fresh pear leaves which yielded 0.961 and 0.953 coefficient of determination (R2) for calibration and cross-validation, respectively. The validation of this method resulted high R2 value (0.847) and low mean relative error (4.48%). In conclusion, this model could provide a rapid and more reliable method to determine the total N concentration in fresh pear leaves and could be useful for fertilization management in pear orchards.

[IEEE OCEANS 2015 - MTS/IEEE Washington - Washington, DC (2015.10.19-2015.10.22)] OCEANS 2015 - MTS/IEEE Washington - Spectral response of marine submerged aquatic vegetation: A case study in Western Australia coast
摘要: Marine submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) plays a vital role as habitats, nursery and feeding grounds for a wide range of marine aquatic and terrestrial life. Recently, remote sensing techniques have been successfully applied in marine benthic mapping in coastal waters. However, the majority of these techniques have focused on either seagrasses meadows or coral reefs. There are a few studies that have been published validating a methodology for mapping SAV on brown macroalgae (Sargassum spp., Ecklonia spp.), seagrasses, and/or other macroalgae groups by spectral response from remote sensing. Hence, we studied the in-situ optical properties of living macroalgae, seagrasses, and rubble. The spectral characteristics of varied SAV groups were measured using the high resolution FieldSpec? 4 Hi-Res portable spectroradiometer. The study site selected was the Shoalwater Islands Marine Park, Rockingham, Western Australia as it is one of the fifteen biodiversity hotspots in Australia. Correlation and Principle Component Analysis were employed to evaluate the differences between SAV groups. The results have documented the spectral features of SAV and their associated habitats in Shoalwater Islands Marine Park, Western Australia, and developed a spectral library to distinguish among seagrass species and algae groups (green, red, and brown benthic macroalgae). The implications of this study will contribute to estimate and detect the distribution and seasonal variation of SAV on a broader scale.
