Extraction of soil and vegetation parameters from high resolution bi-directional reflectance spectraHigh spectral resolution reflectance spectra were collected over a semi-desert grassland at both dry and wet season periods. Spectral reflectance measurements were made from several viewing angles at both low and high solar zenith angles. A mixture model was used to separate and extract green vegetation from dry/dead vegetation and soil. The extracted vegetation signal varied greatly with view and sun angle variations such that off-nadir viewing and illuminating angles resulted in the highest vegetation loadings. These variations were normalized with cosine functions for both sun and view angle. These results offer a methodology for standardizing multi-temporal and multi-angular satellite measurements of vegetation activity.
