DART model- question on Reflectance database

[Naga Moparthy]

Dear all,

I am working on DART model for my studies in BRDF. I read that  OP database for reflectance are in percentage. Even with the application of multiplicative factors, the database values are still in percentage. Is my assumption correct or these values are again scaled between 0 to 1 internally while running DART.

thank you,

Best

Dear Naga Moparthy,

Reflectance values are from 0 to 1. You can check that in the file simulation.properties.txt either directly with a text editor or with the DART viewer "View / Report / Simulation properties / Phase / Band0 / Phase type / Lambertian...."

Note that the viewer of spectra in the DART graphic User Interface displays spectra with values over [0%  100%].

I hope that it clearer for you.

Best regards
