Abstract: Method for processing a circular light field comprising the step of receiving or storing a circular light field matrix, wherein the circular light field matrix comprises pixel data for different circumferential angles and for different incidence angles, wherein each circumferential angle represents one intersection point of a light ray with a circle, and each incidence angle represents an angle of incidence of the light ray in the plane of the circle at the one intersection point; and the step of determining a sub set of pixel data of the circular light field matrix relating to a location by determining for each different circumferential angle an incidence angle related to said location.

Abstract: A device for determining a bidirectional reflectance distribution function of a subject, including a light source for producing an incident light that is directed onto a subject at a predetermined zenith angle and at a predetermined azimuth angle, an element for displacing the light source at any location on the periphery of a hemispherical area centered on the subject, an element for measuring the bidirectional reflectance distribution function of the subject from one fixed location that is preferably aligned with a normal direction defined by the subject, a control unit adapted to control the element for displacing and/or the element for measuring. The element for displacing includes an arc-shaped arm at one end fixedly connected to the light source and slideably connected to a first support to adjust the zenith angle, and an element for pivoting the first support about the normal direction to permit adjustment of the azimuth angle.
