DATA PROCESSING AND COMPACT REPRESENTATION OF MEASURED ISOTROPIC SPECTRAL BRDF

Abstract

This paper presents the methods for both data processing and compact representation of measured isotropic spectral BRDF. For the data processing, we develop a numerical method for filtering the noises, re-sampling the data from non-uniform sampling to uniform sampling, and interpolation. For the compact representation, we propose a method to represent the spectral BRDF in both the spectral and spatial domains. In spectral domain, for each pair of the incident and outgoing directions, we represent the spectral BRDF with Fourier coefficients. In spatial domain, for all the outgoing directions of a given incident direction, we represent the same-order Fourier coefficients either directly using a linear combination of spherical harmonics or a linear combination of spherical harmonics and a Gaussian, depending on their angular dependencies. Three Gaussian expressions are presented. Numerical studies are given for a measured isotropic spectral BRDF.
