BRDF Database - Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function

<p><strong>Introduction</strong></p> <p>The MERL BRDF database contains reflectance functions of 100 different materials. Each reflectance function is stored as a densely measured Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF).</p> <p>Sample code to read the data is included with the database (readBRDF.cpp). Note that parameterization of theta-half has changed.</p> <p><strong>At a Glance</strong></p> <ul> <li>The size of the unzipped dataset is ~3.25GB</li> <li>Folder &ldquo;brdfs&rdquo; contains the data. Folder &ldquo;code&rdquo; contains sample code.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Citation</strong></p> <p>If you use the BRDF dataset in your research, please cite our contribution:</p> <pre><code>@article {Matusik:2003,             author = "Wojciech Matusik and Hanspeter Pfister and Matt Brand and Leonard McMillan",             title = "A Data-Driven Reflectance Model",             journal = "ACM Transactions on Graphics",             year = "2003",             month = jul,             volume = "22",             number = "3",             pages = "759-769" }</code></pre> <p><strong>License</strong></p> <p>The BRDF dataset is released under&nbsp;<a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/">CC-BY-SA-4.0 license</a>.</p> <p>All data:</p> <pre><code>Created by Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories (MERL), 2003, 2007, 2023 SPDX-License-Identifier: CC-BY-SA-4.0</code></pre> <p>&nbsp;</p>
