We propose a new method to analyze scattering light transport in homogeneous translucent media. The incident light undergoes multiple bounces in translucent media, and produces a complex light field. Our method analyzes the light transport in two steps. First, single and multiple scatterings are separated by projecting high-frequency stripe patterns. Then, the light field for each bounce scattering is recursively estimated based on a forward rendering process. Experimental results show that scattering light fields can be analyzed and visualized for each bounce.
