BTF, texture, eye tracking

The use of illumination and view-dependent texture information is recently the best way to capture the appearance of real-world materials accurately. One example is the Bidirectional Texture Function. The main disadvantage of these data is their massive size. In this article, we employ perceptually-based methods to allow more efficient handling of these data. In the first step, we analyse different uniform resampling by means of a psychophysical study with 11 subjects, comparing original data with rendering of a uniformly resampled version over the hemisphere of illumination and view-dependent textural measurements. We have found that down-sampling in view and illumination azimuthal angles is less apparent than in elevation angles and that illumination directions can be down-sampled more than view directions without loss of visual accuracy. In the second step, we analyzed subjects gaze fixation during the experiment.
