The Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) provides a quantitative means of characterising how light is reflected from a surface. It is defined as the ratio of radiance scattered by ...

Polarimetric Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (pBRDF) modelling is an advanced optical framework that links the intrinsic properties of material surfaces to the polarisation state of ...

Radiative transfer simulations were carried out for a variety of measured and modeled benthic bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs), incident lighting conditions, bottom depths, and ...

A research team has developed a new way to measure and predict how plant leaves scatter and reflect light, revealing that leaf optical behavior can be accurately inferred from measurable phenotypic ...

In computer graphics, a bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) is used to model light reflectance properties at a surface, and is defined as the ratio of the radiance (incident light) ...

SAN DIEGO, Calif., June 13, 2018 -- Dr. James Jafolla, President of Surface Optics Corporation, presented today at the 13th International IR Target and Background Modeling & Simulation Workshop (ITBMS ...
