Effective Acquisition of Dense Anisotropic BRDF
Jiřı́ Filip, R Vávra, Michal Havlíček · 2014
The development of novel analytical BRDF models, as well as adaptive BRDF sampling approaches, rely on the appropriate BRDF measurement of real materials. The quality of measurements is even more critical when it comes to accurately representing anisotropic materials where the character of anisotropy is unknown (locations of anisotropic highlights, their width, shape, etc.). As currently there is a lack of dense yet noise-free BRDF anisotropic datasets, we introduce such unique measurements of three anisotropic fabric materials. In this paper we discuss a method of dense BRDF data acquisition, post processing, missing values interpolation, and analyze properties of the datasets. Our results are compared with photographs, dense data fitted and generated by two state-of-the art anisotropic BRDF models, and alternative measurements available.
