Gonioreflectometer Data

The reflectance functions below have been measured at 1439 combinations of incoming and outgoing directions. The incidence angles are 10°, 20°, ..., 80°. The corresponding outgoing directions are uniformly distributed across the hemisphere. The measurements are presented at 31 wavelengths (400, 410, ..., 700nm). Each MATLAB file contains the following data:
  • dir_in: the 1439 incoming direction vectors (with the z-axis of the coordinate system aligned along the normal).
  • dir_out: the 1439 outgoing direction vectors.
  • fr: the 1439 BRDF values at 31 wavelengths.

All data are available in MATLAB binary files. In addition, the data are available in the ASTM text format.

Image-based Data

Black Felt

hat-990106.tar.gz is a gzipped tar archive of image-based measurements of a black felt hat. It is about 32MB compressed and decompresses to about 41MB.

In addition, coefficients are available to render the reflectance with the Lafortune BRDF representation.
