The Minnaert function is a photometric function used to interpret astronomical observations 〔http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0019-1035(03)00075-7〕〔http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.icarus.2006.05.006〕 and remote sensing data for the Earth.〔http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01431160500104194〕 This function expresses the radiance factor (RADF) as a function the phase angle () and the photometric latitude () and the photometric longitude (). : where is the Minnaert albedo, is an empirical parameter, is the scattered radiance in the direction , is the incident radiance, and : The phase angle is the angle between the light source and the observer with the object as the center. The assumptions made are: * the surface is illuminated by a distant point source. * the surface is isotropic and flat. Minnaert's contribution is the introduction of the parameter , having a value between 0 and 1,〔http://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-iarticle_query?1941ApJ....93..403M&data_type=PDF_HIGH&whole_paper=YES&type=PRINTER&filetype=.pdf〕 originally for a better interpretation of observations of the Moon. In remote sensing the use of this function is referred to as ''Minnaert topographic correction'', a necessity when interpreting images of rough terrain. == References == 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Minnaert function」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
