ABSTRACT A Physical Model for the Polarized Scattering of Light (2009)
David Brayford, Martin Turner, W. T Hewitt
The change in polarization state due to the interaction of light with the surface and beneath the surface of an object has become increasingly important in realistic image synthesis of materials such...
