Definition and invariance properties of structured surface BRDF
نویسنده
چکیده
The bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) is used to characterize the directional properties of surface reflectance, but the most recent standardized definition fails to address some important aspects for the structured and varying surfaces encountered in remote sensing. This article proposes an updated definition of BRDF that is applicable for such surfaces. The updated definition then motivates an examination of the resulting measurement requirements and invariance properties. The conclusion is that structured surface BRDF can be defined in a consistent manner that is an intrinsic surface property, and it does exhibit the usual invariance properties associated with BRDF, such as reciprocity.

Structured Surface BRDF Reciprocity: Theory and Counterexamples
We address the question of whether the bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) of a structured surface has the same value when the incident and reflected angles are reversed. In particular, we examine the validity of some recent counterexamples and contrary measurements. Based on a new definition for structured surfaces, we conclude that the BRDF should be reciprocal. We show tha...
متن کاملLeaf BRDF measurements and model for specular and diffuse components differentiation
This paper aims to link the spectral and directional variations of the leaf Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) by differentiating specular and diffuse components. To do this, BRDF of laurel (Prunus laurocesarus), European beech (Fagus silvatica) and hazel (Corylus avellana) leaves were measured at 400 wavelengths evenly spaced over the visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) d...
متن کاملMicro-scale modeling of contaminant effects on surface optical properties
The optical properties of a surface may change significantly in response to contaminants from the environment and/or human activity. We utilize a first principles, physics-based radiometric ray tracing software package to evaluate the spectral polarimetric bi-directional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) of the virgin and contaminated surfaces. In the absence of contaminants, we find the...
متن کاملA Comparison of BRDF Representations and their Effect on Signatures
The application of advanced low observable treatments to ground vehicles has led to a requirement for a better understanding of effects of light scattering from surfaces. Measurements of the Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) fully describe the angular scattering properties of materials, and these may be used in signature simulations to accurately characterize the optical ef...
متن کاملInvestigation of isomorph-invariance in liquid methane by molecular dynamics simulation
In this paper, isomorph invariance of liquid methane is investigated by means of constant-NVT molecular dynamics simulations. According to the data extracted from simulations, equilibrium fluctuations show strong correlation between potential energy U and virial W. We also generated isomorph state points and investigated invariance of certain thermodynamic, structural, and dynamical properties....
