MERL BRDF Database
version 2.0
February 2006
The MERL BRDF database contains reflectance functions of 100 different materials. Each reflectance function is stored as a densely measured Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF).
MERL provides this data only for research or academic use. Sample code to read the data is included with the database. Note that parameterization of theta-half has changed.
Free access to the MERL BRDF database for research or academic use is available at http://people.csail.mit.edu/wojciech/BRDFDatabase/. Please note our copyright and permission to use notice which appears below.
