Fig. 3From: Completing the picture of field-grown cereal crops: a new method for detailed leaf surface models in wheatReconstructed leaf angle distribution and mean error of reconstructed leaf angles. a Calculated leaf angle distribution \({\theta }_{c}\) (red) versus reconstructed leaf angle distribution \({\theta }_{r}\) (black). Systematic differences only occurred for inclination angles close to 0°. b Mean error (black) and standard deviation (grey area) between the calculated leaf angle distribution \({\theta }_{c}\) and reconstructed distribution \({\theta }_{r}\). The mean error is close to 0° for inclination angles between 10° and 60°. For horizontal surfaces with an inclination angle close to 0°, \({e}_{r}\) shows the highest value of ~ 2°Back to article page
