DART (Discrete Anisotropic Radiative Transfer), developed since 1992 based on the discrete ordinates method (i.e., standard mode DART-FT), is one of the most accurate and comprehensive 3D radiative transfer models to simulate the radiative budget and remote sensing observations of urban and natural landscapes. Recently, a new method, called DART-Lux, was integrated into DART model to address the requirements of massive remote sensing data simulation for large-scale and complex landscapes. It is developed based on efficient Monte Carlo light transport algorithms (i.e., bidirectional path tracing) and on DART model framework. DART-Lux can accurately and rapidly simulate the bidirectional reflectance factor (BRF) and spectral images of arbitrary landscapes. This paper presents its theory, implementation, and evaluation. Its accuracy, efficiency and advantages are also discussed. The comparison with standard DART-FT in a variety of scenarios shows that DART-Lux is consistent with DART-FT (relative differences Numéro de notice : A2022-398 Affiliation des auteurs : non IGN Thématique : IMAGERIE Nature : Article DOI : 10.1016/j.rse.2022.112973 Date de publication en ligne : 26/03/2022 En ligne : https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2022.112973 Format de la ressource électronique : URL article Permalink : https://documentation.ensg.eu/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=100698 [article]

The design of footprint size crucially influences the acquired LiDAR signals. For large-footprint full-waveform LiDAR, a well-designed footprint size is indispensable to acquire accurate and complete vertical profiles of scene targets. The methods that design the footprint size are increasingly needed to satisfy various application requirements. In this study, an analytical method to designing the footprint size is proposed for forest and topography applications. It is established based on a mixture Gaussian model and the designed footprint size ensures the signals of vegetation and ground can be completely extracted. Experiment results with our method show that the footprint size is preferably in the range of 10.6–25.0 m for forest application, while it is less than 32.3 m for topography application. The intersection of the two sets satisfies both applications. Furthermore, a series of sensibility studies were performed to analyze the influence of multiple key parameters to the optimal footprint size, including the scene characteristics, instrumental configurations, and application requirements. This study provides a theoretical basis for the design of future large-footprint full-waveform laser altimeters.
