The bidirectional reflection distribution function (BRDF) is among the most effective means to study the phenomenon of light-object interaction. It can precisely describe the characteristics of spatial reflection of the target surface, and has been applied to aerial remote sensing, imaging technology, materials analysis, and computer rendering technology. This study provides a comprehensive review of the development of devices to measure the BRDF. We gathered research in the area by using the Web of Science Core Collection, and show that work on the BDRF has been ongoing in the last 30 years. We also describe some typical measurement devices for the BRDF proposed in the literature. Finally, we summarise outstanding problems related to BRDF measurement and propose directions of future research in the area.
双向反射分布函数 (BRDF) 是研究光与物体相互作用现象最有效的手段之一。它可以精确描述目标表面的空间反射特性,已被应用于航空遥感、成像技术、材料分析和计算机渲染技术。本研究对测量 BRDF 的设备的发展进行了全面回顾。我们使用 Web of Science 核心合集收集了该领域的研究,并表明过去 30 年来一直在进行 BDRF 方面的工作。我们还描述了文献中提出的一些典型的 BRDF 测量设备。最后,我们总结了与 BRDF 测量相关的突出问题,并提出了该领域未来研究的方向。
