Bidirectional Scattering Distribution Function (BSDF): A Systematized Bibliography.
In conjunction with the development of a bidirectional scattering metrology project, a large number of papers pertaining to the theory and measurement of bidirectional scattering from optical surfaces were collected and categorized. This collection includes papers that deal with various aspects of the bidirectional scattering distribution function (BSDF), its measurement, interpretation, use, and implications. Each paper is classified in one or more subject categories on the basis of its technical content. The subject categories are included just to serve as a key to the most salient characteristics of each paper cited. Because of the interest in this field, this bibliography is being published as a service to the public.
