Rough-Surface Shadowing of Self-Affine Random Rough Surfaces [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2010.03927


Light scattering from self-affine homogeneous isotropic random rough surfaces is studied using the ray-optics approximation. Numerical methods are developed to accelerate the first-order scattering simulations from surfaces represented as single-connected single-valued random fields, and to store the results of the simulations into a numerical reflectance model. Horizon mapping and marching methods are developed to accelerate the simulation. Emphasis is given to the geometric shadowing and masking effects as a function of surface roughness, especially, to the azimuthal rough-surface shadowing effect.
