Measurement Science for Optical Reflectance and Scattering
Executive Summary
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting a study to advance the science of measuring optical reflectance properties and characterizing appearance properties of materials. Measurement techniques and mathematical models for quantifying light scattering from a material are being developed and used as input for computer rendering models and procedures for determining appearance characteristics. These techniques will advance the characterization of spectral, goniophotometric and textural properties and improve the understanding of the interactions between light and the microstructural properties of materials. The measurement techniques and the models developed will be generally applicable in ecommerce and in the design, manufacture and sale of materials.
