Abstract

Ground truth measurement system using RC helicopter is very useful to measure BRDF. The helicopter is operated human operator but it can keep its position by GPS aided hovering system. We developed the measurement system and have done ground truth in Mongolia in the summer of 1999 and have made sure the system can measure BRDF expectedly.
