Decomposing a scene into its shape, reflectance and illumination is a fundamental problem
in computer vision and graphics. Neural approaches such as NeRF have achieved …

Many different techniques for measuring material appearance have been proposed in the
last few years. These have produced large public datasets, which have been used for …

We present a model to measure the similarity in appearance between different materials,
which correlates with human similarity judgments. We first create a database of 9,000 …

Material appearance hinges on material reflectance properties but also surface geometry
and illumination. The unlimited number of potential combinations between these factors …

The bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) is crucial for modeling the
appearance of real-world materials. In production rendering, analytic BRDF models are …

Estimating surface reflectance (BRDF) is one key component for complete 3D scene
capture, with wide applications in virtual reality, augmented reality, and human computer …

We propose a novel image‐driven fitting strategy for isotropic BRDFs. Whereas existing
BRDF fitting methods minimize a cost function directly on the error between the fitted …

Surface reflectance of real‐world materials is now widely represented by the bidirectional
reflectance distribution function (BRDF) and also by spatially varying representations such …

3D printing technology is a powerful tool for manufacturing complex shapes with high-quality
textures. Gloss, next to color and shape, is one of the most salient visual aspects of an …

Bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) describe how light interacts with a
point on a surface. To propose a new BRDF formulation or to compare different reflectance …
