Overview • Last time – Radiance – Light sources – Rendering Equation & Formal Solutions • Today – Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) – Reflection models – Projection onto spherical basis functions – Shading • Next lecture – Varying (reflection) properties over object surface: texturing Computer Graphics WS07/08 – BRDFs and Texturing

Reflection Equation - Reflectance • Reflection equation ∫ ω = ω ω ω L x f x L x θ d ω ( , ) ( , , ) ( , ) cos o o r i o i i i i Ω + • BRDF – Ratio of reflected radiance to incident irradiance ω dL x ( , ) ω ω = f x o o ( , , ) r o i ω dE x ( , ) i i Computer Graphics WS07/08 – BRDFs and Texturing

Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function • BRDF describes surface reflection for light incident from direction ( θ i , φ i ) observed from direction ( θ ο , φ ο ) • Bidirectional – Depends on two directions and position (6-D function) • Distribution function – Can be infinite • Unit [1/sr] ω dL x ( , ) ω ω = f x o o ( , , ) r o i ω dE x ( , ) i i ω dL x ( , ) = o o ω θ ω dL x d ( , ) cos i i i i Computer Graphics WS07/08 – BRDFs and Texturing

BRDF Properties • Helmholtz reciprocity principle – BRDF remains unchanged if incident and reflected directions are interchanged ω ω = ω ω f f ( , ) ( , ) r o i r i o • Smooth surface: isotropic BRDF – reflectivity independent of rotation around surface normal – BRDF has only 3 instead of 4 directional degrees of freedom θ θ ϕ − ϕ f r x ( , , , ) i o o i Computer Graphics WS07/08 – BRDFs and Texturing

BRDF Properties • Characteristics – BRDF units [sr --1 ] • Not intuitive – Range of values: • From 0 (absorption) to ∞ (reflection, δ -function) – Energy conservation law • No self-emission • Possible absorption ∫ ω ω θ ω ≤ ∀ θ ϕ f x d ( , , ) cos 1 , r o i o o Ω – Reflection only at the point of entry ( x i = x o ) • No subsurface scattering Computer Graphics WS07/08 – BRDFs and Texturing

BRDF Measurement • Gonio-Reflectometer • BRDF measurement – point light source position ( θ , ϕ ) – light detector position ( θ o , ϕ o ) • 4 directional degrees of freedom • BRDF representation – m incident direction samples ( θ , ϕ ) – n outgoing direction samples ( θ o , ϕ o ) – m*n reflectance values (large!!!)
