Description

El anlálisis de Reflectancia es un proceso fundamental en todos sistema de visión por computador. El conocimineto de las propiedades ópticas de los materiales y el comportamiento de la luz sobre estos, es lo que nos permite asociar la información contenida en la imagen con la realidad observada. Varios modelos de reflectancia han sido propuestos ( Dichromatic reflection model, BRDF y sus derivados) su aplicación es fundamental tanto para visión como para visualización. Son muchos los paradigmas concernientes; Color constancy, espacios de color, estudio de la luz, propiedades de los materiales, optics, photometry, radiometry,...

El gran objetivo de esta Special Session es tener un punto de encuentro para investigadores en este area, algo inusual en otros congresos.

Reflectance Analysis is a key process for computer vision systems. The knowledge of optical and phisycs properties of materials under light efects, let us to find the relacionship between image information and observed reality. Some models had been proposed for reflectance (Dichromatic Reflection Model, BRDF and their derivatives) their application is key for vision process and for visualization process too. A lot of paradigms are related to reflectance analysis; color constancy, color spaces, light research, phisycs properties of materials, optics, photometry, radiometry, ...

The goal of this Special Session is to serve a meeting point for researches in this area.
