EDCS Attribute Symbolic Constant: EAC_BIDIRECTIONAL_REFLECTANCE_DISTRIBUTION_FUNCTION
EDCS Attribute Code: 135
Definition:
The ratio, for a particular material surface, of the differential reflected radiance into a unit solid angle about a particular (reflected) direction to the differential incident flux per unit surface area (irradiance) from a particular (incident) direction; bi-directional reflectance distribution function or directional-directional reflectance. This quantity is a function of the incident and reflected zenith and azimuth angles. This quantity is spectral (a distribution function in wavelength), measured in terms of inverse solid angle, inverse wavelength bin size.
