Acquisition and Analysis of Bispectral Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Functions

Abstract: "In fluorescent materials, energy from a certain band of incident wavelengths is reflected or reradiated at larger wavelengths, i.e. with lower energy per photon. While fluorescent materials are common in everyday life, they have received little attention in computer graphics. Especially, no bidirectional reflectance measurements of fluorescent materials have been available so far. In this paper, we develop the concept of a bispectral BRDF, which extends the well-known concept of the bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) to account for energy transfer between wavelengths. Using a bidirectional and bispectral measurement setup, we acquire reflectance data of a variety of fluorescent materials, including vehicle paints, paper and fabric. We show bispectral renderings of the measured data and compare them with reduced versions of the bispectral BRDF, including the traditional RGB vector valued BRDF. Principal component analysis of the measured data reveals that for some materials the fluorescent reradiation spectrum changes considerably over the range of directions. We further show that bispectral BRDFs can be efficiently acquired using an acquisition strategy based on principal components."
Computational Imaging for Scene Understanding

Most cameras are inherently designed to mimic what is seen by the human eye: they have three channels of RGB and can achieve up to around 30 frames per second (FPS). However, some cameras are designed to capture other modalities: some may have the ability to capture spectra from near UV to near IR rather than RGB, polarimetry, different times of light travel, etc. Such modalities are as yet unknown, but they can also collect robust data of the scene they are capturing. This book will focus on the emerging computer vision techniques known as computational imaging. These include capturing, processing and analyzing such modalities for various applications of scene understanding.
Computer Vision – ECCV 2012

The seven-volume set comprising LNCS volumes 7572-7578 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th European Conference on Computer Vision, ECCV 2012, held in Florence, Italy, in October 2012. The 408 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 1437 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on geometry, 2D and 3D shapes, 3D reconstruction, visual recognition and classification, visual features and image matching, visual monitoring: action and activities, models, optimisation, learning, visual tracking and image registration, photometry: lighting and colour, and image segmentation.
