Vegetation structure can have a significant impact on the degree of anisotropy in the reflected radiation field. With the appropriate characterization of these effects, the analysis of multiangular data, such as provided by the Multi‐angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) instrument on board TERRA, can yield statistical information about the type of surface heterogeneity that exists at the subpixel scale.
