Nonetheless, the change in diffuse component with viewing direction is generally much less pronounced than that in the specular component. Specular reflection is the mirrorlike reflection at the airsurface interface, and it occurs when the incident light is reflected from a smooth surface. Background was to get a better knowledge about the uncertainties of possible software strategies and to take the level. Pdf diffuse and specular reflectance from rough surfaces. What is the difference between specular and diffuse.
In order to determine shape and reflectance parameters of specular and hybrid surfaces, specular reflections must be captured in the measured intensi ties. The light is bounced of it, but in random directions so you cannot see the light source in the reflection. It is easily conceived as proper reflection from those parts of the surface that deviate from the average. However, the ambient component can easily be removed by subtracting an observation without the hidden object. On the diagrams below, sketch the reflected light off a wet and dry surface.
