Polarizační verze lesklých BRDF modelů / Polarising Versions of Glossy BRDF Models

The goal of computer graphics is to precisely model the appearance of real objects. It includes of interactions of light with various materials. Polarisation is one of the fundamental properties of light. Incorporating polarisation parameter into an illumination model can significantly enhance the physical realism of rendered images in the case of scenes including multiple light bounces via specular surfaces, etc. However, recent rendering systems do not take polarisation into account because of complexity of such a solution. The key component for obtaining physically correct images are realistic, polarisation capable BRDF (Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function) models. Within this thesis, polarising versions of the following BRDF models were theoretically derived: Torrance Sparrow, He-Torrance-Sillion-Greenberg and Weidlich-Wilkie. For each of these models, Mueller matrices (the mathematical construct used to describe polarising surface reflectance) were systematically derived and their behaviour tested under various input parameters using Wolfram Mathematica. Derived polarising glossy BRDF models were further implemented using a rendering research system, ART (Advanced Rendering Toolkit). As far as we know, it is the very first usage of these BRDF models in a polarisation renderer....
