The invention relates to a
light scattering modeling method for a complex spatial object, belonging to the technical field of modeling
aerospace spatial objects. The method of the invention comprises the following steps: firstly, establishing a
light scattering empirical model of a material according to the comprehensive
light scattering intensity of the material; obtaining incident sections of the spatial object by
parallel projection transformation, and judging and selecting an effective incident section; according to the light scattering empirical model of the material, counting the mean value of the
reflectivity of pixels on the drawn effective incident section to obtain the mean
reflectivity; calculating the area of the effective incident section according to the proportional relation between the total number of the pixels on the effective incident section and the area of a drawn window; and establishing a light scattering model of the complex spatial object. In the invention, on the basis of considering the incoherent scattering characteristic and coherent scattering characteristic of the material, according to the practical propagation characteristic of rays,
complex calculation of a three-dimensional space is projected to a two-dimensional surface, the
computer graphics theory is utilized for realizing quick determination of the effective incident section and the mean
reflectivity of the section, and the problem of light scattering calculation of the complex spatial object is better solved.
