  2. Reflectance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflectance

    Given that reflectance is a directional property, most surfaces can be divided into those that give specular reflection and those that give diffuse reflection. For specular surfaces, such as glass or polished metal, reflectance is nearly zero at all angles except at the appropriate reflected angle; that is the same angle with respect to the ...

    Diagram showing vectors used to define the BRDF. All vectors are unit length. points toward the light source. points toward the viewer (camera). is the surface normal.. The bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF), symbol (,), is a function of four real variables that defines how light from a source is reflected off an opaque surface. It is employed in the optics of real-world ...

  4. Directional-hemispherical reflectance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional-hemispherical...

    Directional-hemispherical reflectance is the reflectance of a surface under direct illumination (with no diffuse component). [1] Directional-hemispherical reflectance is the integral of the bidirectional reflectance distribution function over all viewing directions. It is sometimes called "black-sky albedo". [1]

  5. Emissivity - Wikipedia

    Spectral directional absorptance: A Ω,ν A Ω,λ — Spectral radiance absorbed by a surface, divided by the spectral radiance incident onto that surface. This should not be confused with "spectral absorbance". Hemispherical reflectance: R — Radiant flux reflected by a surface, divided by that received by that surface. Spectral hemispherical ...

    Spectral directional absorptance: A Ω,ν A Ω,λ — Spectral radiance absorbed by a surface, divided by the spectral radiance incident onto that surface. This should not be confused with "spectral absorbance". Hemispherical reflectance: R — Radiant flux reflected by a surface, divided by that received by that surface. Spectral hemispherical ...

  8. Bidirectional scattering distribution function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bidirectional_scattering...

    BRDF (Bidirectional reflectance distribution function) [4] is a simplified BSSRDF, assuming that light enters and leaves at the same point (see the image on the right). BTDF ( Bidirectional transmittance distribution function ) [ 1 ] is similar to BRDF but for the opposite side of the surface.

    Spectral directional absorptance: A Ω,ν A Ω,λ — Spectral radiance absorbed by a surface, divided by the spectral radiance incident onto that surface. This should not be confused with "spectral absorbance". Hemispherical reflectance: R — Radiant flux reflected by a surface, divided by that received by that surface. Spectral hemispherical ...
