2,2 "Accuracy"
| The considerable number of specifications brings up the question as to
m ; whether really all parameters have a decisive influence on the spectral
AT signatures and with what accuracy the single influencing factors must be
indicated. Here a systematic basic research seems imperative in order to
be able to indicate spectral object signatures with sufficent reliability.

The problem of "accuracy" includes above all also questions of instru-
mental and procedural accuracy which could be determined, for instance,
by means of the following investigations:
8 , - repetition measurements on the same object under unchanged conditions,
- measurements under almost the same conditions but at different loca-
16 tions of a homogeneous object,
- measurements with different instruments on the same object,
Lon
- measurements on the same object throughout the day,
- etc., ete..

3. CONCLUSION
The discussion within the Working Group on the item "Reflection Termino-
logy" is nearly concluded as far as the commitment to the REFLECTANCE
+ FACTOR R is concerned. As to the necessary specifications, a further
discussions seems futile as long as the effects of the single factors
on spectral signatures have not been investigated. Therefore it is to
or R be hoped that more often than hitherto done such investigations and
accuracy indications be made.
