Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to BRDF fast measuring system technical field especially relates to a novel BRDF fast measuring system. BACKGROUND

[0002] BRDF measuring device as a kind of optical analysis instrument, it has been widely used in target simulation, optical design, space remote sensing, material detection and other fields currently.Brightness refers to the luminous intensity on unit area, and the illuminance refers to the light flux received on unit area.The definition of BRDF is the ratio of the radiance scattered in the specified direction of surface and the irradiance of single incident on the surface.

[0003] The measurement method of BRDF has absolute measurement and relative measurement two kinds.Relative measurement method can reduce system error, and can also play a good inhibitory effect on stray light.Compared with absolute measurement, relative measurement has lower requirement to equipment precision, and can save measurement cost.However, the disadvantage of relative measurement method is also obvious, that is, it must rely on standard reference sample.The complete diffuse reflector has the spectral reflectance of 1 in the whole waveband.Because there is no reference standard with the spectral reflectance of 1 in the whole waveband, in practical application, the BRDF measuring device must be calibrated by using magnesium oxide, barium sulfate, polytetrafluoroethylene or other working standard white board with known absolute spectral reflectance factor after precision calibration, so as to directly measure the BRDF distribution data of the sample to be measured on the instrument.

[0005] The disadvantages of the prior art are: 1. Time-consuming, although computer-controlled automatic scanning measurement can improve the measurement speed, but real-time online measurement cannot be realized; 2. The measurement process is easily affected by the change of light source output power and detector responsivity, and the repeatability is poor; 3. The structure is complex, the required cost is high and the limitation conditions are many; therefore, improvement is needed. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT
