High-accuracy remote measurement of greenhouse gases is hampered by contamination of the field of view by the path radiance of solar radiation scattered from clouds and aerosols. A method is proposed for eliminating the effect of path radiance by differentiating two components of polarized light. The polarization of path radiance is measured directly at the wave-number region of strong water-vapor absorption. Using this measurement, we eliminate the components of path radiance involved in other bands, which are used for greenhouse gas measurements, by differentiating two components of the polarized light. It is shown that the effect of path radiance on retrieving the column amount of gases potentially can be reduced to below 0.1%.

Benchmarking of Multispectral Pansharpening: Reproducibility, Assessment, and Meta-Analysis.

The term pansharpening denotes the process by which the geometric resolution of a multiband image is increased by means of a co-registered broadband panchromatic observation of the same scene having greater spatial resolution. Over time, the benchmarking of pansharpening methods has revealed itself to be more challenging than the development of new methods. Their recent proliferation in the literature is mostly due to the lack of a standardized assessment.

Precise acquisition of potted plant traits has great theoretical significance and practical value for variety selection and guiding scientific cultivation practices. Although phenotypic analysis using two dimensional(2D) digital images is simple and efficient, leaf occlusion reduces the available phenotype information. To address the current challenge of acquiring sufficient non-destructive information from living potted plants, we proposed a three dimensional (3D) phenotyping pipeline that combines neural radiation field reconstruction with path analysis.

In the context of autonomous driving, the augmentation of existing data through simulations provides an elegant solution to the challenge of capturing the full range of adverse weather conditions in training datasets. However, existing physics-based augmentation models typically rely on single scattering approximations to predict light propagation under unfavorable conditions, such as fog. This can prevent the reproduction of important signal characteristics encountered in a real-world environment.

Direct Volume Rendering (DVR) plays an important role in scientific data visualization. To generate photo-realistic DVR results, the physical light transport throughout the volume is simulated by applying the Monte Carlo-based volumetric path tracing (VPT) approach. For real-time applications, due to the time constraint for rendering each frame, only a limited number of samples shall be taken for the computation per pixel.

Methods/data Sources: Six electronic databases (PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Scopus, PsycINFO and Web of Science) were searched from their inception dates to June 2023. Data were extracted and meta-summarised using Sandelowski and Barroso's approach and synthesised using Thomas and Harden's thematic analysis framework.
