Multi-pixel retrieval of structural and optical parameters in a 2D scene with a path-recycling Monte Carlo forward model and a new Bayesian inference engine
The vast majority of physics-based retrieval algorithms used in remote sensing of atmosphere and/or surface properties are multi- or hyper-spectral in nature, some use multi-angle information as well; recently, polarization diversity has been added to the available input from sensors and accordingly modeled with vector radiative transfer codes. At any rate, a single pixel is processed at a…
