This is the second released version of HyperBlend on our way towards a full canopy scale vegetation
simulator. HyperBlend is developed in
Spectral Laboratory of University of Jyväskylä
by Kimmo Riihiaho (kimmo.a.riihiaho at jyu.fi).
Version 0.2.0 will break many things in the previous version. Don't expect simulations created
in 0.1.0 to work. Also the folder structure and some constants have been reorganized and renamed.
Main improvements in this version:
- Simulation speed 200 times faster (simulation accuracy decreases 2-4 times)
- You can still use the old simulation method if you need maximum accuracy
- Incorporation of the PROSPECT leaf model
- You can now use PROSPECT parameters such as water thickness and chlorophyll content
- It is fairly simple to plug in any other leaf model you would like. Just follow how
our localprospectmodule does it, and you should be fine
