However, quantitative estimates of unbiased information derived from airborne hyperspectral measurements primarily require a correction of the anisotropic scattering properties of the land surface depicted by the bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF). Hitherto, angular BRDF correction methods rarely combined viewing-illumination geometry and topographic information to achieve a comprehensive understanding and quantification of the BRDF effects. This is in particular the case for forested areas, frequently underlaid by rugged topography. This paper describes a method to correct the BRDF effects of airborne hyperspectral imagery over forested areas overlying rugged topography, referred in the reminder of the paper as rugged topography-BRDF (RT-BRDF) correction. The local viewing and illumination geometry are calculated for each pixel based on the characteristics of the airborne scanner and the local topography, and these two variables are used to adapt the Ross-Thick-Maignan and Li-Transit-Reciprocal kernels in the case of rugged topography. The new BRDF model is fitted to the anisotropy of multi-line airborne hyperspectral data. The number of pixels is set at 35,000 in this study, based on a stratified random sampling method to ensure a comprehensive coverage of the viewing and illumination angles and to minimize the fitting error of the BRDF model for all bands. Based on multi-line airborne hyperspectral data acquired with the Chinese Academy of Forestry\u2019s LiDAR, CCD, and Hyperspectral system (CAF-LiCHy) in the Pu\u2019er region (China), the results applying the RT-BRDF correction are compared with results from current empirical (C, and sun-canopy-sensor (SCS) adds C (SCS+C)) and semi-physical (SCS) topographic correction methods. Both quantitative assessment and visual inspection indicate that RT-BRDF, C, and SCS+C correction methods all reduce the topographic effects. However, the RT-BRDF method appears more efficient in reducing the variability in reflectance of overlapping areas in multiple flight-lines, with the advantage of reducing the BRDF effects caused by the combination of wide field of view (FOV) airborne scanner, rugged topography, and varying solar illumination angle over long flight time. Specifically, the average decrease in coefficient of variation (CV) is 3% and 3.5% for coniferous forest and broadleaved forest, respectively. This improvement is particularly marked in the near infrared (NIR) region (i.e., &gt;750 nm). This finding opens new possible applications of airborne hyperspectral surveys over large areas.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs12030432","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,29]],"date-time":"2020-01-29T10:51:07Z","timestamp":1580295067000},"page":"432","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":46,"title":["A Kernel-Driven BRDF Approach to Correct Airborne Hyperspectral Imagery over Forested Areas with Rugged Topography"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8258-0955","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wen","family":"Jia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Forest Resource Information Techniques, Chinese Academy of Forestry, Beijing 100091, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9760-6580","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yong","family":"Pang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Forest Resource Information Techniques, Chinese Academy of Forestry, Beijing 100091, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7402-8573","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Riccardo","family":"Tortini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography, University of California, Los Angeles, 1255 Bunche Hall, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6448-4858","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel","family":"Schl\u00e4pfer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ReSe Applications LLC, Langeggweg 3, 9500 Wil SG, Switzerland"}]},{"given":"Zengyuan","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Forest Resource Information Techniques, Chinese Academy of Forestry, Beijing 100091, China"}]},{"given":"Jean-Louis","family":"Roujean","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre d\u2019Etudes Spatiales de la BIOsph\u00e8re (CESBIO)\u2014CNES, CNRS, INRA, IRD, Universit\u00e9 Paul Sabatier, 31401 Toulouse CEDEX 9, France"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2999","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rse.2008.02.011","article-title":"Evaluation of Random Forest and Adaboost tree-based ensemble classification and spectral band selection for ecotope mapping using airborne hyperspectral imagery","volume":"112","author":"Chan","year":"2008","journal-title":"Remote Sens.
