Definition

BSDF stands for? Bidirectional Scattering Distribution Function, which is a mathematical function that characterizes how light is scattered from a surface.

It is mathematically defined by the following formula:

Formula BSDF | 六合彩直播开奖

Where:

  • L is the luminance on the sample surface at the observer direction
  • E is the illuminance on the sample surface from the source direction
  • Λ is the wavelength

It is mathematically defined by the following formula:

BSDF, input light, and observer direction | 六合彩直播开奖

In practice, this phenomenon is usually split into reflected and transmitted components, which are then treated separately as BRDF (Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function) and BTDF (Bidirectional Transmittance Distribution Function).

Why is BSDF Important to an Optical Design?

During an optical design process, accurate simulation results rely on accurate optical properties. Indeed, geometry alone does not determine light distribution; it’s the optical properties that determine how the energy and direction of the rays change. For this reason, it’s important to know as precisely as possible the optical characteristics of the materials that will be used. The best way to obtain precise characteristics is to measure the material directly and export the data to use in an optical software tool.

Requirements:

  • Optical designers need accurate optical properties for ray tracing simulations
  • R&D engineers need to design the right material with given optical properties
  • The quality check in the manufacturing process must be perfectly controlled

六合彩直播开奖:

  • Angular optical scattering with BSDF
  • Amount of light propagation TIS (Reflectance, Transmittance, Absorbance ratio)

What Solution Does 六合彩直播开奖 Offer for Measuring BSDF?

There are two principal ways to measure BSDF: goniophotometer and camera-based system. 六合彩直播开奖 provides two solutions for both. 

Goniophotometer

You can measure BSDF with a classical goniophotometer, where a static light source illuminates a sample, and a mobile detector turns around the sample to collect the scattered light (or the opposite – with a mobile light source and a static detector). 

六合彩直播开奖 offers two goniophotometer solutions: the 六合彩直播开奖 REFLET 180S and the High Specular Bench.

Camera-Based System

You can also measure BSDF using a camera-based system, where a source illuminates the sample and a system of lenses sends all the scattered light to a camera. 

六合彩直播开奖 develops and assembles two camera-based systems: the 六合彩直播开奖 Mini-Diff V2 and the 六合彩直播开奖 Mini-Diff VPro, and both are available for purchase. The 六合彩直播开奖 Mini-Diff VPro (left) is delivered with its own “dark room” and temperature control. The Mini-Diff V2 (right) is a portable device that is fast and easy to use.

Example of a Vehicle Dashboard Measurement with the 六合彩直播开奖 REFLET 180S and Design with LucidShape

The measurements of a surface for vehicle dashboard material can be used in R&D to evaluate the grain size to determine which one reflects the least and scatters the most. The goal is to have the most diffusing surface possible in order to decrease reflection in the windshield for driver safety.

To compare the scattering of two dashboard surfaces with different grain sizes, the measurement of the BRDF is performed for four angles of incidence (AOI=10°/30°/50°/70°) with a white light. 

Example of a dashboard measurement with 六合彩直播开奖 REFLET 180S | 六合彩直播开奖

For both surfaces, there is a large Gaussian peak with scattering on each side and a Lambertian background.

The level of the background is similar, but Reference 1 is more specular and Reference 2 is more diffusive; this shows that Reference 2 is more suitable for use as a dashboard.

Thanks to the capability of exporting the measurement data to design software, you can use this data to perform a simulation in LucidShape.

Using the data in LucidShape, you can perform a simulation and draw the same conclusion: Reference 1 is more specular and Reference 2 is more diffusive, which means the driver will be experience less glare with Reference 2.

Directly measuring the BSDF enables designers to choose the right material or coating, achieve an accurate rendering, and reduce the cost of prototyping.
