Abstract
In accordance with the present disclosure, a computer implemented system and method predicts the performance for a remote material identification process under real conditions and uncertainties. The method and system transforms data representing measured reflectance values for candidate materials based on environmental conditions, and uncertainties regarding the environmental conditions and/or calibration of sensors measuring radiance values into the performance predictions for a material identification process operating under those conditions and uncertainties. The performance predictions can be communicated to a designer of, for example, a multi-angle material identification system for use in selecting and setting up the system, or communicated to a consumer of images captured by the material identification system for use in interpreting results of application of the material identification process to real imagery acquired with remote sensors.
