Modeling of a Soybean Canopy Structure by the Approximation of a Leaflet into an Ellipsoid for Estimating Direct Solar Radiation Environment

For the detailed analysis of a canopy structure, e.g., solar radiation environment, it is necessary to obtain spatial data related to the leaf position in a canopy. We approximated a leaflet shape into an ellipsoid because, if it is possible, necessary data for determining the spatial position of ea...
