Abstract

In order to perform denoising on a three-dimensional (3D) spherical measurement of light (such as spherical irradiance probe information or the results of a 3D gonioreflectometry capture), the 3D spherical measurement of light is converted to a two-dimensional (2D) measurement by creating multiple copies of the 3D spherical measurement of light, determining a two-dimensional sub-domain (e.g., a rectangular sub-domain) for each of the multiple copies, and stitching the plurality of two-dimensional sub-domains together in a toroidal configuration. Denoising may then be performed on this 2D measurement via a machine learning implementation or other means. This may result in more accurate 3D spherical light probes that require fewer light measurement samples to generate accurate light measurements.
