Synthesizing an Image of Fibers

A method and apparatus for synthesizing an image showing fibers. The method comprises providing (210) a computational model describing the interaction of light with fibers; obtaining (220) a first set of fiber parameters, which describes a plurality of real fibers (160), for use with the model; modi...

Summary:A method and apparatus for synthesizing an image showing fibers. The method comprises providing (210) a computational model describing the interaction of light with fibers; obtaining (220) a first set of fiber parameters, which describes a plurality of real fibers (160), for use with the model; modifying (230) the first set of fiber parameters, to produce a second set of fiber parameters describing a plurality of modified fibers; simulating (240), using the model and the second set of fiber parameters, how light would interact with the modified fibers; and rendering (250), based on the result of the simulation, a synthetic image showing the appearance of the modified fibers.
