A Portable Spectropolarimeter for Field Crop Canopies: Distinguishing species and cultivars of fully developed canopies by polarized light

A spectropolarimeter equipped with eight spectral bands in the visible, near– and short–wave infrared ranges (490–2200 nm) as well as a rotary film polarizer has been developed for measuring the reflectance and degree of polarization of light reflected from field crop canopies. This paper describes...
