Abstract:
A glossy part of a radiation coming from a surface illuminated by area light source(s) (21) having source surface(s) (A) bounded by edge curves (210) is estimated, by determining one or more integrand function(s) representative of that glossy part, the latter corresponding to an integration of the integrand function along the edge curves. In this respect, the integrand function(s) is/are approximated by means of at least one ellipsoid-based-peak-shape function(s) having a null first derivative at integration domain bounds, and the glossy part is computed from one or more analytical expression associated with integrations of the ellipsoid-based-peak-shape function(s) along the edge curves.

Claim (Index 7):
An apparatus for determining an estimated glossy part of a radiation coming from a surface illuminated by at least one area light source having at least one source surface bounded by edge curves, said apparatus comprising:\n a memory storing control programs, instructions, software, content and data; and a processor executing the control programs and instructions, said processor when executing said control programs causing said apparatus to:\n determine at least one integrand function representative of said glossy part, said glossy part corresponding to an integration of said integrand function along said edge curves, \n wherein said processor when executing said control programs further causes said apparatus to:\n approximate said at least one integrand function by means of at least one ellipsoid-based-peak-shape function having a null first derivative at integration domain bounds; and \n compute said estimated glossy part from at least one analytical expressions associated with an integration of said at least one ellipsoid-based-peak-shape function along said edge curves, wherein said at least one ellipsoid-based-peak-shape function includes an ellipsoid function and a square ellipsoid function, and said method comprises approximating said at least one integrand function by means of a linear combination of said ellipsoid function and said square ellipsoid function.
