A theory of bidirectional reflectance-distribution function (BRDF), a newly developed BRDF measurement system, and a method for evaluating the uncertainty of BRDF measurements are presented. The BRDF measurement system which measures BRDF in a wavelength range of (380~1500) nm with an angle range of $(-75{\sim}75)^{\circ}$ was installed. The measurement uncertainties, consisting of correlated terms and uncorrelated terms, were evaluated for the BRDF measurement system, resulting in the relative expanded uncertainty less than 3% (k=2).

달의 양방향 분포 함수는 Hapke에 의하여 처음 이론적 모델이 만들어졌고, 이후 Foote에 의해 아폴로 11호의 달 토양 샘플 10084의 양방향 분포 함수가 측정된 바 있다. 이 연구에서는 실제 크기의 달의 표면에 Hapke의 양방향 분포 함수를 적용하여 광학 모델은 개발하였다. 달 표면의 산란특성 중 반 무한하고 매끄러운 지면에 적용되는 후방산란 효과와 산란각에 따른 위상 함수가 적용된 모델이 사용되었으며, 위상함수로는 Henyey-Greenstein 함수가 사용되었다. 달의 3D 모델에 사용된 매개 변수는 Foote가 측정한 Hapke의 변수를 따랐으며 달의 단일 산란 알베도는 w=0.33, 핫스팟의 넓이는 h=0.017, Legendre 다항 계수인 b와 c에는 각각 b=0.308, c=0.425의 값이 사용되었다. 구성된 달의 양방향 분포 함수를 이용한 통합적 광선 추적 수치 모사 결과, 달 반사광의 복사 휘도율은 1차 근사 해석적 방법을 이용한 계산 결과의 복사 휘도율과 측정 오차 범위 이내의 오차를 보였다.

This paper proposes a biological iridescence BRDF(Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function) compression and rendering method. In the graphics technology, iridescence sometimes is named structure colors. The main features of these symptoms are shown transform of color and brightness by varying viewpoint. Graphics technology to render this is the BRDF technology. The BRDF methods enable realistic representation of varying view direction, but it requires a lot of computing power because of large data. In this paper, we obtain reflection map from iridescence BRDF, analyze color of reflection map and propose representation method by several colorfully concentric circle. The one concentric circle represents beam width of reflection ray by one normal vector. In this paper, we synthesize rough concentric by using several virtually optical normal vectors. And we obtain spectrum information from concentric circles passing through the center point. The proposed method enables IBR(image based rendering) technique which results is realistic illuminance and spectrum distribution by one texture from reduced BRDF data within spectrum.

The Sonoran Desert, which is located in North America, has been frequently used for vicarious calibration of many optical sensors in satellites. Although the desert area has good conditions for vicarious calibration (e.g. high reflectance, little vegetation, large area, low precipitation), its adjacency to the sea and large variability in atmospheric water vapor are the disadvantages for vicarious calibration. For vicarious calibration using top-of-atmospheric (TOA) reflectance, the atmospheric variability brings about degraded precision in vicarious calibration results. In this paper, the location with the smallest radiometric variability in TOA reflectance is sought by using 12-year Landsat 5 data, and corrected the TOA reflectance for bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) which is another major source of variability in TOA reflectance. Experiments show that the mid-western part of the Sonoran Desert has the smallest variability collectively for visible and near-infrared bands, and the variability from the sunarget-sensor geometry can be reduced by the BRDF correction for the visible bands, but not sufficiently for the infrared bands.
