PROSPECT: Simulate plant spectrum

Description

Simulate plant spectrum using PROSPECT 5. The inversion uses the concept after Feret et al. (2008).

Usage

PROSPECT(N = 1.5, Cab = 40, Car = 8, Cbrown = 0.0, 
         Cw = 0.01, Cm = 0.009, transmittance = FALSE,
         parameterList = NULL)
## Inversion
PROSPECTinvert(x, P0 = NULL, transmittance_spectra = NULL, 
               sam = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

N

Structure parameter

Cab

Chlorophyll content

Car

Carotenoid content

Cbrown

Brown pigment content

Cw

Equivalent water thickness

Cm

Dry matter content

transmittance

Logical flag, if transmittance instead of reflectance values are returned.

parameterList

An optional object of class 'data.frame'. Function will iterate over rows of parameterList setting missing entries to default values. See examples section.

x, transmittance_spectra

Speclib(s) containing the reflectance/transmittance values to be simulated during inversion of PROSPECT.

P0

Initial set of parameters (N, Cab etc.).

sam

Logical if spectral angle mapper is used as distance measurement. If FALSE, the root mean square error is used. Note that this flag has only an effect if no transmittance spectra are passed.

...

Parameters passed to nelder_mead from the pracma-package

Value

• An object of class Speclib.

Details

This function uses the FORTRAN code of PROSPECT model (Version 5). For a general introduction see following web page and the links to articles provided there:

http://teledetection.ipgp.jussieu.fr/prosail/

The following table summarises the abbreviations of parameters and gives their units as used in PROSPECT. Please note that default values of all parameters were included with the intention to provide an easy access to the model and should be used with care in any scientific approach! lll{ Parameter Description of parameter Units N Leaf structure parameter NA Cab Chlorophyll a+b concentration $\mu$g/cm$^2$ Car Carotenoid concentration $\mu$g/cm$^2$ Cw Equivalent water thickness cm Cbrown Brown pigment NA Cm Dry matter content g/cm$^2$ }

The inversion uses the function nelder_mead from the pracma-package and implements the Matlab-Code developed by Feret et al. (2008).

Examples

## Single spectrum
spectrum <- PROSPECT(N = 1.3, Cab = 30, Car = 10, Cbrown = 0, 
                     Cw = 0.01, Cm = 0.01)
plot(spectrum)

## Example using parameterList
## Test effect of leaf structure and chlorophyll content on 
## spectra
parameter <- data.frame(N = c(rep.int(seq(0.5, 1.5, 0.5), 2)),
                        Cab = c(rep.int(40, 3), rep.int(20, 3)))
spectra <- PROSPECT(parameterList = parameter)

## Print attributes table
attribute(spectra)

## Plot spectra for range from 400 to 800 nm
spectra <- spectra[,wavelength(spectra) >= 400 & 
                    wavelength(spectra) <= 800]

plot(subset(spectra, Cab == 20), col = "red", ylim = c(0, 0.5))
plot(subset(spectra, Cab == 40), col = "green", new = FALSE)
