A new setup to measure bidirectional reflectance distribution functions

The Plant Facility, a new laboratory goniometer system, built by the Wageningen University has been tested in order to take bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) measurements. An ASD FieldSpec 3 spectroradiometer mounted on an industrial robot arm is able to measure small targets over the full hemispherical dome. Due to the fast acquisition time it is a promising setup for BRDF measurements of natural targets. In this paper, the preliminary results of BRDF measurements of freshly grown watercress and lawn grass are presented. The results show that both watercress and lawn grass show anisotropic behavior and that LAI plays an important role.
