Improving accuracy of canopy hemispherical photography by a constant threshold value derived from an unobscured overcast sky

High image discrimination threshold values tend to be given to canopy hemispherical photographs (CHPs) with high exposure (resulting in bright images), but the effects of exposure on image threshol...
