Image-based Reflection Modeling of Golden Yarn for Digital Archiving of Noh Costume

Abstract

Noh is a historical play for 600 years and Noh costumes are precious cultural heritage. Currently, some researchers group grapple with digital archiving of cultural heritages to save them. We propose the efficient image-based method of cloth object modeling to create digital contents of the Noh costumes. At first, we divide embroidery regions and golden yarn region based on its color difference. In each region, we propose image-based anisotropic reflectance modeling with the normal distribution at each pixel. We generate Bi-directional Reflectance Function(BTF) from proposed model and render the Noh costume.
