Abstract :
In this study the hot spot phenomenon was explained successfully in the BRDF analysis by adopting the shadowing model as a volume scattering kernel. In addition, The proposed BRDF models with the shadowing kernel showed an excellent agreement in the correlation between the measured and model predicted BRDF values.
