This process helps determine the highest radiance orientation of image targets in sunlight and shadows, adjust exposure, fix settings, and calibrate solar radiance. It involves spatial adjustments, spectral filtering, polar filters, and BRDF determination. Further enhancements include down-sampling images for accuracy and generating spatial-resolution-based statistics. Additional positions and spectral bands can be included as needed for improved measurement results. No background pBRDF model is required for this outdoor measurement process.
