  2. BidirectionalReflectanceDistributionFunction (BRDF) • BRDF functionsdefinesthesurfacereflectionbehaviourthrough a mathematical model. • BRDF is firstformulatedbyNicadamususingthefollowingrelationship: Incoming, outgoingandsurface normal vectors, Differentialoutgoingradiance, Differentialirradiance, Incomingradiance, Differentialsolidangle.

  3. PhysicalProperties of BRDF • A good BRDF shouldobeythefollowingprinciples: Reciprocity EnergyConservation

  4. Modeling BRDF byProbabilityDistributions • Ward (1992) BRDF model, • GaussianDistribution. • Edwards et al. (2006) BRDF model, • HalfwayVector Disk distribution. • Öztürk et al. (2010) Copula-Based BRDF model, • ArchimedeanCopuladistributions.

  5. CopulaDistributions • Copula is a multivariate cumulative distribution function of theuniform random variables on the interval [0,1]. • They provide asimple and general structure for modeling multivariate distributions through univariate marginal distributions.

  13. Copula-Based BRDF Model (3) • We have observed that the marginal distributions of for specularmaterials are extremely skewed. Our empirical results showedthat copula distributions do not provide satisfactory approximationsfor these cases. • We overcome this difficulty by dividing dataalonginto subsamples and fitting the BRDF model to each of thesesubsamples. • We defined6 subsamples by dividing into 6 non-overlapping intervals each with a length of 90º/6 = 15º.

  14. PhysicalProperties of Copula-Based BRDF model • Reciprocity • Copula-Based BRDF Model satisfiesreciprocityifweusetheidentity

  15. PhysicalProperties of Copula-Based BRDF model (2) • EnergyConservation • Our BRDF model depends on a multivariate probability distribution function but it is scaled by adifferentcoefficientKforeachsubsumple. In this sense,our model may not be considered as an energy conserving model. • However, forallsamplesconsidered in thisstudy, our BRDF model empiricallysatisfiestheenergyconservationproperty.

  19. Results Various spheres were rendered with our Frank copula model using different materials. Columns left to right: alum-bronze, black-oxidized-steel, dark-specular-fabric, green-metallic-paint, pvc and silver-metallic-paint. Rows top to bottom: Reference images were renderedusing measured data; images were rendered using our Frank copula model and color-coded difference images (Color-coded differences arescaled by a factor of five to improve the visibility of differences between the real and approximated images).

  20. Results The PSNR values of the Ashikhmin-Shirley, the Cook-Torrance, the Ward and our Frank copula models. The BRDFs are sorted in the PSNRs of the Ashikhmin-Shirley model (Blue) for visualization purpose.
