Reproducing Scattering Property of Translucent Objects by Mixing Liquids of Different Optical Properties

Abstract

In this research, we work on the fabrication of replica focusing on the reproduction of scattering properties of translucent objects. We propose reproduction of scattering property by mixing different optically liquids physically. We find a relationship between the mixture ratio and scattering property of mixed liquid by observation. According to the relationship, we attempt to estimate optimal mixture ratio for reproduction of given translucent objects. Finally, we evaluate the accuracy of the estimation and reproduced some translucent objects in experiments.
