Unified sun and sky illumination for shadows under trees

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6196767
Assume the sun, sky and clouds are represented as a raster image on a plane at infinity, and the shadows of a tree canopy are represented as a raster transparency mask on a canopy plane. Then the illumination on the ground is the correlation of these two rasters, which can be rapidly computed by Fast Fourier Transform techniques.
