About
Arjan de Jong is a leading figure in the field of optical remote sensing, with a particular focus on the measurement and modeling of surface reflectance and emittance anisotropy. His major contribution lies in the development of advanced laboratory instrumentation that enables precise, multi-angular measurements of material properties under controlled conditions. His most-cited work, "A Laboratory Goniometer System for Measuring Reflectance and Emittance Anisotropy" (2012, 28 citations), describes a novel system that utilizes a commercially available robotic arm to rapidly acquire a dense set of measurements across the full hemisphere. This innovation significantly reduces measurement time while greatly increasing data density, providing a critical tool for validating satellite-based remote sensing data and improving the accuracy of Earth surface characterization. De Jong’s work has been instrumental in bridging the gap between laboratory-based spectroscopy and field or airborne observations, making him a key contributor to the advancement of quantitative remote sensing. His research continues to support the calibration and validation efforts essential for global environmental monitoring.
