Abstract

Combining texture mapping with bi-directional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) yields a representation of surface appearance with both spatial and angular detail. We call a texture map with a unique BRDF at each pixel a spatial bi-directional reflectance distribution function, or SBRDF. The SBRDF is a sixdimensional function representing the reflectance from each incident direction to each exitant direction at each surface point. Because of the high dimensionality of the SBRDF, previous appearance capture and representation work has focused on either spatial or angular detail, has relied on a small set of basis BRDFs, or has only treated spatial detail statistically [Dana 1999; Lensch 2001].
