Analysis of the Modification Method for Cook-Torrance Model

Article Preview

Abstract:

A visible difference exists between the measured Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) and the modeled BRDF. The Cook-Torrance model is chosen to simulate the BRDF for its popularity and flexibility. Taking aluminum for example, this paper analyzes the difference between the experiment data and the simulation data. There is a great and remarkable difference in the situation of specular reflection by comparison in this paper. Consequently, trigonometric factor, numerator and denominator addition factors and scaling factor are brought in the Cook-Torrance model. Finally, a modified Cook-Torrance model is presented. The simulation data of the modified Cook-Torrance model show that it’s more suitable for the analysis of the aluminum BRDF than the classic Cook-Torrance model.
