An Approach to Preprocess and Cluster a BRDF Database
Context
The Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) represents a material through the incoming light on its surface. In this context, material clustering contributes to selecting a basis of representative BRDFs, the reconstruction of BRDFs, the personalization of the appearance of materials, and image-based estimation of material properties.
Objective
This work presents an approach to cluster a BRDF database according to its reflectance features.
Method
We first preprocess a BRDF database by mapping it to an image slice database and then find the best parameters for the LLE method through an empirical analysis, retrieving lower-dimensional databases. We performed a controlled experiment using the k-means, k-medoids, and spectral clustering algorithms applied to the low-dimensional databases.
Conclusion
K-means presented the best overall result compared to the other clustering algorithms. For applications that require cluster representatives from the database, we suggest using k-medoids, which presented results close to those of the k-means.
期刊介绍:
Graphical Models is recognized internationally as a highly rated, top tier journal and is focused on the creation, geometric processing, animation, and visualization of graphical models and on their applications in engineering, science, culture, and entertainment. GMOD provides its readers with thoroughly reviewed and carefully selected papers that disseminate exciting innovations, that teach rigorous theoretical foundations, that propose robust and efficient solutions, or that describe ambitious systems or applications in a variety of topics.
We invite papers in five categories: research (contributions of novel theoretical or practical approaches or solutions), survey (opinionated views of the state-of-the-art and challenges in a specific topic), system (the architecture and implementation details of an innovative architecture for a complete system that supports model/animation design, acquisition, analysis, visualization?), application (description of a novel application of know techniques and evaluation of its impact), or lecture (an elegant and inspiring perspective on previously published results that clarifies them and teaches them in a new way).
GMOD offers its authors an accelerated review, feedback from experts in the field, immediate online publication of accepted papers, no restriction on color and length (when justified by the content) in the online version, and a broad promotion of published papers. A prestigious group of editors selected from among the premier international researchers in their fields oversees the review process.
