This was accomplished using data retrieved from the Compact Laboratory Spectro-Goniometer (CLabSpeG) with an azimuth and zenith angular step of 30 and 15 degrees, respectively. Wavelength depended RPV parameters describing the leaf reflectance shape (rho0), the curve convexity (k) and the dominant forward scattering (\u0398) were derived using the RPVinversion-2 software (Joint Research Centre) package with Correlation Coefficient values between modelled and measured data varying between 0.71 and 0.99 for all wavelengths, azimuth and zenith positions. The RPV model parameters were compared with a set of leaves not participating in the inversion procedure and presented Correlation Coefficient values ranging between 0.64 and 0.94 suggesting that RPV could be also used for simulating single canopy elements such as leaves.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs1020092","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,6,11]],"date-time":"2009-06-11T13:06:42Z","timestamp":1244725602000},"page":"92-106","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["RPV Model Parameters Based on Hyperspectral Bidirectional Reflectance Measurementsof Fagus sylvatica L.
