IMAGE-BASED BRDF MEASUREMENT [PDF]
ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2022 One of the most challenging effects of remote sensing is landcover materials' Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF). A wide range of approaches and measuring methods address the BRDF in various studies.

Image-based BRDF Representation [PDF]
Journal of Applied Mathematics, Statistics and Informatics, 2015 Abstract To acquire a certain level of photorealism in computer graphics, it is necessary to analyze, how the materials scatter the incident light. In this work, we propose the method to direct rendering of isotropic bidirectional reflectance function (BRDF) from the small set of images. The image-based rendering is focused to synthesize

External quantum efficiency enhancement by photon recycling with backscatter evasion [PDF]
, 2018 The nonunity quantum efficiency (QE) in photodiodes (PD) causes deterioration of signal quality in quantum optical experiments due to photocurrent loss as well as the introduction of vacuum fluctuations into the measurement. In this paper, we report that
