In radiometry, radiosity is the radiant flux leaving (emitted, reflected and transmitted by) a surface per unit area, and spectral radiosity is the radiosity of a surface per unit frequency or wavelength, depending on whether the spectrum is taken as a function of frequency or of wavelength. [1] The SI unit of radiosity is the watt per square ...
Radiosity (computer graphics) Scene rendered with RRV [1] (simple implementation of radiosity renderer based on OpenGL) 79th iteration. The Cornell box, rendered with and without radiosity by BMRT. In 3D computer graphics, radiosity is an application of the finite element method to solving the rendering equation for scenes with surfaces that ...
A negative frequency causes the sin function (violet) to lead the cos (red) by 1/4 cycle. The ambiguity is resolved when the cosine and sine operators can be observed simultaneously, because cos (ωt + θ) leads sin (ωt + θ) by cycle (i.e. radians) when ω > 0, and lags by cycle when ω < 0. Similarly, a vector, (cos ωt, sin ωt), rotates ...
View factor. In radiative heat transfer, a view factor, , is the proportion of the radiation which leaves surface that strikes surface . In a complex 'scene' there can be any number of different objects, which can be divided in turn into even more surfaces and surface segments. View factors are also sometimes known as configuration factors ...
Radiance is used to characterize diffuse emission and reflection of electromagnetic radiation, and to quantify emission of neutrinos and other particles. The SI unit of radiance is the watt per steradian per square metre ( W·sr−1·m−2 ). It is a directional quantity: the radiance of a surface depends on the direction from which it is being ...
This is the emitted component of radiosity. "Radiant emittance" is an old term for this quantity. This is sometimes also confusingly called "intensity". Spectral exitance: M e,ν: watt per square metre per hertz W⋅m −2 ⋅Hz −1: M⋅T −2: Radiant exitance of a surface per unit frequency or wavelength.
Radiant exitance. In radiometry, radiant exitance or radiant emittance is the radiant flux emitted by a surface per unit area, whereas spectral exitance or spectral emittance is the radiant exitance of a surface per unit frequency or wavelength, depending on whether the spectrum is taken as a function of frequency or of wavelength.
Rendering equation. In computer graphics, the rendering equation is an integral equation in which the equilibrium radiance leaving a point is given as the sum of emitted plus reflected radiance under a geometric optics approximation. It was simultaneously introduced into computer graphics by David Immel et al. [1] and James Kajiya [2] in 1986.
