Abstract

In this paper we present a shading technique for realistic rendering of the surfaces with irregular and complex textures using a single photograph. So far, most works have been using many photographs or special photographing equipment to render the surfaces with irregular and complex textures as well as dividing texture regions manually. We present an automatic selection method of the region segmentation techniques according to properties of materials. As our technique produces a reflectance model and the approximated Bidirectional Reflection Distribution Function(BRDF) parameters, it allows the recovery of the photometric properties of diffuse, specular, isotropic or anisotropic textured objects. Also it make it possible to present several synthetic images with novel lighting conditions and views.

물체 표면의 재질을 실물에 가깝게 렌더링 하는 것은 그래픽 콘텐츠의 사실감을 위한 중요한 요소이다. 본 논문은 속성이 다른 여러 구성 물질에 의해 복잡한 무늬가 형성된 표면을 한 장의 스틸 사진만을 이용하여 셰이딩하는 기법을 제안한다. 기존 방법들은 이와 같은 이종물질에 의한 불규칙한 텍스처의 렌더링을 위해 많은 이미지를 필요로 하거나 특수 촬영 장비를 사용했으며, 수작업에 의해 물질별 표면 영역을 나누어 주어야 했다. 본 연구에서는 영상의 히스토그램 분포 특성에 따른 물질별 텍스처 영역 분할법의 자동 선택 방식을 제시하였고, 그 결과로 구분된 물질별 레이어에 대해 근사화(approximate)된 양방향 반사도 분포함수(BRDF) 값을 구함으로써 주어진 사진과 다른 조명 조건이나 시야(view)에 대해서도 대응되는 렌더링 및 셰이딩 결과를 생성할 수 있음을 보였다.
