HDR ABTF Scanner

The HDR ABTF Scanner digitizes optical material behavior of objects (e.g. textiles and leather) faster, easier and more precisely than conventional scanners.

It captures texture and light-surface interaction of materials in different lighting situations using an Approximate Bidirectional Texturing Function (ABTF), captured from a hemispherical distribution of incident light angles. Moreover, exposure bracketing per direction of incidence represents the object surface in High Dynamic Range (HDR).

Users may apply the scanned material when working with programs for true-to-life 3D visualizations, e.g. as part of the design process.

Abstract

We show how to overcome the single weakness of an existing fully automatic system for acquisition of spatially varying optical material behavior of real object surfaces. While the expression of spatially varying material behavior with spherical dependence on incoming light as a 4D texture (an ABTF material model) allows flexible mapping onto arbitrary 3D geometry, with photo-realistic rendering and interaction in real time, ...

ABSTRACT

We created a fully automatic system for acquisition of spatially varying optical material behavior of real object surfaces under a hemisphere of individual incident light directions. The resulting measured material model is flexibly applicable to arbitrary 3D model geometries, can be photorealistically rendered and interacted with in real-time and is not constrained to isotropic materials.

ABSTRACT

We have lifted the one weakness of an existing fully automatic acquisition system for spatially varying optical material behavior of real object surfaces. While its expression of spatially varying material behavior with spherical dependence on incoming light as 4D texture (ABTF material model) allows flexible mapping on arbitrary 3D geometries, photo-realistic rendering and interaction in real-time ...
