Analyzing the Correlation of Sky-View Factor and Shadow Regions in Hyperspectral Data

In this paper, we investigate the radiance and reflectance values of the shadow regions in hyperspectral data, and their relation to the sky-view factors. For this purpose, first, we find the shadow regions using LiDAR data. Then, we compute the sky-view factors from LiDAR data. Upon investigating the reflectance and radiance values in comparison to the physical radiance model, we found that the sky-view factors are not as dominant as the photons reflected from the objects surronding the shadow region.
