Abstract
Relative spectral reflectance is an illumination invariant image feature that is
related to many ecological phenomena that are difficult to measure, such as plant
CO2 uptake. We describe a procedure to estimate the relative spectral reflectance of
known subject using color image features. Through application, we show that this
procedure produces accurate estimates in the presence of changing field conditions.
Using this procedure, we can use imagers as sensors to measure natural phenomena
that cannot be easily measured using any other available sensing modality.
