Abstract
AbstractThe shadowing and masking of a rough surface is an important problem for reflection models in computer graphics. The widely used Smith’s geometry attenuation factor (GAF) takes a few factors such as root-mean-square (rms) into account and makes too many assumptions. In our research, we construct a brand-new calculation technique for issues involving light attenuation on a rough surface. The GAF algorithm is derived from a scattering field based on integral equations and the computational electromagnetic method. Specifically, our use of the method of moments has enabled us to tackle the problem of analytically computing the shadowing and masking on a rough surface by taking practical factors such as wavelength, surface contour, polarization, material, rms, and so on into consideration. It is more precise than Smith’s GAF theory.KEYWORDS: Light attenuationmicrofacet theorymasking and shadowingSmith’s theorythe method of momentscomputational electromagnetic method AcknowledgmentsThe authors would like to sincerely thank all reviewers for their helpful comments and suggestions.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by Natural Science Foundation of Shaanxi Province of China (2022JM-385).
期刊介绍:
The journal (under its former title Optica Acta) was founded in 1953 - some years before the advent of the laser - as an international journal of optics. Since then optical research has changed greatly; fresh areas of inquiry have been explored, different techniques have been employed and the range of application has greatly increased. The journal has continued to reflect these advances as part of its steadily widening scope.
Journal of Modern Optics aims to publish original and timely contributions to optical knowledge from educational institutions, government establishments and industrial R&D groups world-wide. The whole field of classical and quantum optics is covered. Papers may deal with the applications of fundamentals of modern optics, considering both experimental and theoretical aspects of contemporary research. In addition to regular papers, there are topical and tutorial reviews, and special issues on highlighted areas.
All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees.
General topics covered include:
• Optical and photonic materials (inc. metamaterials)
• Plasmonics and nanophotonics
• Quantum optics (inc. quantum information)
• Optical instrumentation and technology (inc. detectors, metrology, sensors, lasers)
• Coherence, propagation, polarization and manipulation (classical optics)
• Scattering and holography (diffractive optics)
• Optical fibres and optical communications (inc. integrated optics, amplifiers)
• Vision science and applications
• Medical and biomedical optics
• Nonlinear and ultrafast optics (inc. harmonic generation, multiphoton spectroscopy)
• Imaging and Image processing
