Researchers have developed a new method for representing complex appearance effects in 3D scene reconstruction, moving beyond traditional Spherical Harmonics (SH). Their work introduces the Normalized Anisotropic Spherical Gabor function, which efficiently models high-frequency details like specular reflections and glints. This new formulation offers improved reconstruction quality while being significantly more memory-efficient and faster to evaluate than existing approaches. AI
