Optical remote sensing and the retrieval of terrestrial vegetation bio-geophysical properties - A review (2015, methodology): “An extensive evaluation of the physical realism of RTMs is given by ongoing Radiation Transfer Model Inter-comparisons (the RAMI exercises) as conceptualized and organized by Pinty et al. (2001, 2004) and Widlowski et al. (2007, 2013).”
Variability and bias in active and passive ground-based measurements of effective plant, wood and leaf area index (2018, methodology): “This model has been tested in previous studies against other models (Widlowski et al., 2015, 2007; Pinty et al., 2004), as well as against observations (Disney et al., 2006, 2011; Calders et al., 2013; Woodgate et al., 2016).”
Earth system science related imaging spectroscopy — an assessment (2009, background): “Comprehensive comparisons of radiative transfer models used in remote sensing have been performed on a regular basis and document well the increased complexity incorporated in the modeling approaches (Pinty et al., 2001, 2004; Widlowski et al., 2007, 2008).”
A Bayesian object based approach for estimating vegetation biophysical and biochemical variables from APEX at sensor radiance data (2013, background): “Model uncertainties are very difficult to assess because they depend on the parameter values and because of the lack of perfect reference observations (Widlowski et al., 2007), and they are therefore usually ignored.”
Evaluation of the PROSAIL Model Capabilities for Future Hyperspectral Model Environments: A Review Study (2018, methodology): “In the year 2007, the actual versions of the SAIL model were successfully tested against other 1-D and 3-D models for homogeneous canopies in the framework of the RAdiation transfer Model Intercomparison (RAMI) experiment [143].”
Discrete Anisotropic Radiative Transfer (DART 5) for Modeling Airborne and Satellite Spectroradiometer and LIDAR Acquisitions of Natural and Urban Landscapes (2015, background): “, FLIGHT [26], Sprint [33], Raytran [27]) in the context of the RAdiation transfer Model Intercomparison (RAMI) experiment [34–38].”
Waveform lidar over vegetation: An evaluation of inversion methods for estimating return energy (2015, methodology): “…used for simulating remote sensing measurements (Disney, Lewis, & Saich, 2006; Hancock, Lewis, Foster, Disney, & Muller, 2012), has been validated (Widlowski et al., 2007) and forms part of the RAMI surrogate truth (Widlowski et al., 2008). libRAT allows realistic lidar signals to be produced…”
