However, obtaining the reflectance properties of a material is both time-consuming and challenging. This paper presents a novel method for minimizing the number of samples required for high quality BRDF capture using a gonio-reflectometer setup. Taking an image of the physical material sample as input a lightweight neural network first estimates the parameters of an analytic BRDF model, and the distribution of the sample locations. In a second step we use an image based loss to find the number of samples required to meet the accuracy required. This approach significantly accelerates the measurement process while maintaining a high level of accuracy and fidelity in the BRDF representation.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.02917v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2410.02917v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"deep-image-based-adaptive-brdf-measure","repo_url":"https://github.com/WenCao1101/Deep-image-based-Adaptive-BRDF-Measure","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
