Image Processing 11. Radiometry and Shading Models Aleix M. Martinez aleix@ece.osu.edu Radiometry • By understanding how light travels from a source to a surfaces and how this creates a brightness pattern, we will be able to estimate additional data from an image. • Our goal is to understand the principals and how these can be used. • We will used them to build what’s call shading models . Illumination A 3D object illuminated with a light source. ^ n ^ s a Intensity at image point I(u,v) (u,v) T . 1

Hemisphere of Direction Hemisphere of Direction • Questions: – how “bright” will a surfaces be (luminance)? – what is “brightness”? • measuring light, • interactions between light and surfaces. • Core idea : think the light arriving at a surface around any point defines a hemisphere of directions. • Simplest problems can be dealt with by reasoning about this hemisphere. 2

Solid Angle • By analogy with angle (in radians), the solid angle subtended by a region at a point is the area projected on a unit sphere centered at that point. • The solid angle subtended by a patch J ì dA cos w = area dA is given by: ï d , 2 í r ( )( ) ï w = J J f d sin d d . î Radiance • The power (amount of energy per unit time) traveling at some point in a specified direction, per unit area perpendicular to the direction of travel, per unit solid angle . ( ) q , f L P , • Units: watts per square meter per steradian (wm -2 sr -1 ). Irradiance • Incident power per unit area not foreshortened . • A surface experiencing radiance L(x , q , f ) coming in from d w experiences irradiance: ( ) q f q w L P , , cos d . 3

BRDF • The BRDF (Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function) is the ratio between the incoming radiance and the outgoing irradiance at a point P : ( ) q f L P , , ( ) r q f q f = , , , o o o .

Radiosity • The total power leaving a point on a surface per unit area on the surface (Wm -2 ). ( ) ( ) ò = q f q w B P L o P , , cos d . W • Note that this is independent of the direction. Radiosity and Constant Radiance • R adiosity of a surface whose radiance is independent of angle (e.g. that cotton cloth): ( ) ( ) ò = J j J w B x L x , , cos d o W ( ) ò = J w L x cos d o W p 2 p 2 ( ) ò ò = J J j J L x cos sin d d o 0 0 ( ) . = p L x o Albedo • A common, reasonable assumption is that the light leaving a surface is independent of the exit angle. • Directional Hemisphere Reflectance : the fraction of incident irradiance in a given direction that is reflected back, whatever the direction of reflection.

• The second most common assumption is that this directional hemisphere reflectance function does not depend on the direction of the illumination (i.e., most directions produce the same illumination effect). • This is reasonable if the object is convex.

Then the source vector doesn’t vary much, and the distance doesn’t vary much either, and we can roll the constants together to get: ( ) ( ( ) ( ) ) r × x N x S x d d 7
