چکیده
The transport of electromagnetic waves is essential in many scientific and engineering fields. In recent years, substantial researches have been conducted in computer graphics to model and simulate the optical phenomena of subsurface scattering. The ultimate goal is to develop accurate scattering inodels for complex surfaces and media, as well as efficient algorithms for simulating the related phenomena. This report reviews on the subsurface scattering problem from the fundamental physics principles to the practical methods developed recently in computer graphics.

A closer look at rock physics models and their assisted interpretation in seismic exploration
Subsurface rocks and their fluid content along with their architecture affect reflected seismic waves through variations in their travel time, reflection amplitude, and phase within the field of exploration seismology. The combined effects of these factors make subsurface interpretation by using reflection waves very difficult. Therefore, assistance from other subsurface disciplines is needed i...
متن کاملApproximate Reflectance Profiles for Efficient Subsurface Scattering
We present three useful parameterizations of a BSSRDF model based on empirical reflectance profiles. The model is very simple, but with the appropriate parameterization it matches brute-force Monte Carlo references better than state-of-the-art physically-based models (quantized diffusion and photon beam diffusion) for many common materials. Each reflectance profile is a sum of two exponentials ...
متن کاملSeparating Subsurface Scattering from Photometric Images∗
While subsurface scattering is common in many real objects, almost all separation algorithms focus on extracting specular and diffuse components from real images. In this paper, we present a model-less approach derived from the bi-directional surface scattering reflectance distribution function (BSSRDF). In our approach, we show that an illumination image is composed by the Lambertian diffuse a...
متن کاملEfficient Estimation of Spatially Varying Subsurface Scattering Parameters for Relighting
We present an image-based technique to rapidly acquire spatially varying subsurface reflectance properties of a human face. The estimated properties can be used directly to render faces with spatially varying scattering, or can be used to estimate a robust average across the face. We demonstrate our technique with renderings of peoples’ faces under novel, spatially-varying illumination and prov...
