Description copied from interface: Scattering

Pseudorandomly generates, for the given input, a set of scattered rays. The scattered rays are generated such that they can be used for a Monte Carlo integration of a function f(ω;ν) over cos θ BSDF(ω_i, ν_i; ω_o, ν_o) in the following way:

• If adjoint is false, out = ω_o describes the direction of an outgoing light ray. In this case, the integration is with respect to ω_i. Let g(ω, ν; out, μ) = BSDF(ω, ν; out, μ)
• Otherwise, adjoint is true. In this case, out = ω_i describes the direction of an outgoing importance ray (an inverse light ray). Now the integration is with respect to ω_o. Let g(ω, ν; out, μ) = BSDF(out, μ; ω, ν)

Let d_i and s_i denote the directions and spectra of the N generated rays (N = rays.size). Then, for every frequency ν the sum 1 / N ∑_i s_i(ν) f(d_i; ν) is an unbiased estimate for the integral ∫ cos θ f(ω; ν) g(ω, ν; out, μ) specOut(μ) dμ dω θ is the angle between the surface normal and ω. The domain of integration is the whole sphere, since the bidirectional scattering distribution includes both reflection and transmission (BSDF = BRDF + BTDF).

If this Scattering instance is in fact a Light source, adjoint is true, and the BSDF is defined as BSDF(out, μ; ω, ν) = L¹(ω, ν) δ(μ - ν), i.e., the directional distribution of the emitted radiance at env.point, see Emitter. In this case, out is not used.

If this Scattering instance is in fact a Sensor, adjoint is false, and the BSDF is defined as BSDF(ω, ν; out, μ) = W¹(ω, ν) δ(μ - ν), i.e., the directional distribution of the emitted importance at env.point, see Emitter. In this case, out is not used.

Let p_ω be the probability density used for the ray direction (measured with respect to solid angle ω), then the field directionDensity of the ray i is set to p_ω(d_i). For ideal specular reflection or transmission, or for directional lights or sensors, p_ω is not a regular function, the value directionDensity will be set to a multiple of Scattering.DELTA_FACTOR.

The ray properties which are not mentioned in the given formulas are neither used nor modified. These are the origin and its density.
