Macha Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Does anybody know of a decent resource of data and functions relating to light scattering of various materials? I've googled around but can't find anything with consistent and good data. Maybe I use bad search terms or it is hidden in books and journals...

Adam Ferestad Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 This is the second edition of a book I saw a while ago that should provide the information you are looking for. When I looked at it before, much of the math was above my head, but now that I have a bit more experience I will probably take a look as well, eventually.

Macha Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) Thanks Adam, I know that book -it is a great one- but I am actually looking for data; graphs, tables of numbers, lists of measured values, that kind of stuff. The theory can be found in many places, but not the data! I have seen a few measurements of scattering for steam and even landscapes (!) (NASA measured it for deserts and oceans stuff like that! With cameras attached to planes and doing circles) but nothing like "hohohoo, here we go, 1001 participating media measured and listed'-kind of thing.

Erik_JE Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 http://www.graphics.cornell.edu/online/measurements/reflectance/index.html This is the only I know off. No idea how to use it although. Also wanna add how awesome the book is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Ferestad Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 That site looks really interesting. I am facing the same issue with the how to use, but I sure would love to know. If anyone knows how to implement that stuff, please share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
