Bidirectional Scattering Distribution Function (BSDF)

The data relates to a study to captured deciduous broadleaf Bidirectional Scattering Distribution Functions (BSDFs) from the visible through shortwave-infrared (SWIR) spectral regions (350-2500 nm) and accurately modeled the BSDF for extension to any illumination angle, viewing zenith, or azimuthal angle. Measurements were made from three species of large trees, Norway maple (Acer platanoides), American sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), and northern red oak (Quercus rubra).
