One of the most common reflection models is the Phong model. [14] The Phong model assumes that the intensity of each pixel is the sum of the intensity due to diffuse, specular, and ambient lighting. [17] This model takes into account the location of a viewer to determine specular light using the angle of light reflecting off an object. [18]
This model for diffuse reflection was proposed by Johann Heinrich Lambert in 1760 and has been perhaps the most widely used reflectance model in computer vision and graphics. For a large number of real-world surfaces, such as concrete, plaster, sand, etc., however, the Lambertian model is an inadequate approximation of the diffuse component.
Light that is reflected on a relatively smooth surface gives rise to a specular reflection. This kind of reflection is especially strong for metal surfaces. Models that describe the perceived brightness due to specular reflection include: Phong; Blinn–Phong; Cook–Torrance (microfacets) Ward anisotropic
The most common are the bounding volume hierarchy (BVH), which stores a pre-computed bounding box or sphere for each branch of a tree of objects, and the k-d tree which recursively divides space into two parts. Recent GPUs include hardware acceleration for BVH intersection tests.
A mirror provides the most common model for specular light reflection, and typically consists of a glass sheet with a metallic coating where the significant reflection occurs. Reflection is enhanced in metals by suppression of wave propagation beyond their skin depths. Reflection also occurs at the surface of transparent media, such as water or ...
With home prices still on the rise in every region of the U.S., 63% of homeowners say they'd rather remodel their homes than move to renovated homes, according to an October survey by Clever Real...
Can we imagine ourselves back on that awful day in the summer of 2010, in the hot firefight that went on for nine hours? Men frenzied with exhaustion and reckless exuberance, eyes and throats burning from dust and smoke, in a battle that erupted after Taliban insurgents castrated a young boy in the village, knowing his family would summon nearby Marines for help and the Marines would come ...
Natasha Iskander criticized a certain conception of design thinking for reaffirming "the privileged role of the designer" at the expense of the communities that the designer serves, and argued that the concept of "empathy" employed in some formulations of design thinking ignores critical reflection on the way identity and power shape empathetic ...
