ABSTRACT
In this work we render non-opaque anisotropic media. A mathematical formalism is described in which polarization effects resulting from light/material interactions are represented as transformation matrices.
When applying the matrices a skewing is performed to ensure that like reference coordinates are used. The intensity and direction of an extraordinary ray is computed.

Simultaneous acquisition of polarimetric SVBRDF and normals
Capturing appearance often requires dense sampling in light-view space, which is often achieved in specialized, expensive hardware setups. With the aim of realizing a compact acquisition setup without multiple angular samples of light and view, we ...
Realistic rendering of birefringency in uniaxial crystals
In this article we derive the complete set of formulas needed to generate physically plausible images of uniaxial crystals. So far no computer graphics publication contains all the formulas one needs to compute the interaction of light with such ...
Polarization Multiplexing and Demultiplexing for Appearance-Based Modeling
Polarization has been used in numerous prior studies for separating diffuse and specular reflectance components, but in this work we show that it also can be used to separate surface reflectance contributions from individual light sources. Our approach ...
