ALTA: A BRDF Analysis Library
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this document, we introduce ALTA, a cross platform generic open-source library for Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) analysis. Among others, ALTA permits to estimate BRDF models parameters from measured data, to perform statistical analysis and also to export BRDF data models in a wide variety of formats.

GPU accelerated computation of Polarized Subsurface BRDF for Flat Particulate Layers
BRDF of most real world materials has two components, the surface BRDF due to the light reflecting at the surface of the material and the subsurface BRDF due to the light entering and going through many scattering events inside the material. Each of these events modifies light’s path, power, polarization state. Computing polarized subsurface BRDF of a material requires simulating the light tran...
متن کاملArtist Material BRDF Database for Computer Graphics Rendering
A research project is underway to create a physical library of artist material samples and corresponding BRDF measurements that characterize their optical properties. This collection will provide necessary data for the development of a gonio-imaging system for use in museums to more accurately document their collections. A sample set has been produced consisting of 26 panels containing over 600...
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 کاملAnalysis of Extracting Prior BRDF from MODIS BRDF Data
Many previous studies have attempted to extract prior reflectance anisotropy knowledge from the historical MODIS Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) product based on land cover or Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data. In this study, the feasibility of the method is discussed based on MODIS data and archetypal BRDFs. The BRDF is simplified into six archetypal BRD...
متن کاملBRDF Measurement Modelling using Wavelets for Efficient Path Tracing
Physically based rendering needs numerical models from real measurements, or analytical models from material definitions, of the Bi-directional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF). However, measured BRDF data sets are too large and provide no functionalities to be practically used in Monte Carlo path tracing algorithms. In this paper, we present a wavelet based generic BRDF model suitable ...
