An Image-Based Bidirectional Reflectivity Distribution Function Experiment

This experiment is a proof of concept type experiment providing initial setup and discovery of pitfalls that need to be overcome for AFIT to set-up an image based BRDF acquisition tool. Custom fabricated parts including a robust camera rotation mount and large scale mirror solutions are discussed.Image data extraction including geometric pixel to surface area correllation and a discussion of radiometric quantities that need to be well documented to extract BRDF.
