Abstract

The measurement of a bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) requires a purpose-built instrument. We ease this requirement by presenting a relative method for measuring a BRDF using a multipurpose robotic arm. Our focus is on the alignment of the system to perform accurate camera positioning and orientation. We use a six degrees of freedom robotic arm to move a camera on a hemisphere surrounding a flat material sample. Point-like light sources, fixed on a quarter circle arc, sequentially illuminate the sample from different directions. The resulting images are used to reconstruct the material BRDF. We limit ourselves to tristimulus (RGB) isotropic BRDF acquisition.
