In particular, we are interested in measuring the phase function of the material, governing the amount of ener gy scattered towards different directions. This phase function has been s hown to carry a lot of information about the type and size of particles di spersed in the medium, and is therefore essential for its characterization .\n\nPrevious approaches to this task have relied on computationally cos tly inverse rendering optimization. Alternatively, if the material can be made optically thin enough so that most light paths scatter only once, thi s optimization can be avoided and the phase function can be directly read from the profile of light scattering at different angles. However, in many realistic applications, it is not easy to slice or dilute the material s o that it is thin enough for such a single scattering model to hold. \n\ nIn this work we suggest a simple closed-form approach for acquiring mater ial parameters from thick samples, avoiding costly optimization. Our appr oach is based on imaging the material of interest under coherent laser lig ht and capturing speckle patterns. We show that memory-effect correlatio ns between speckle patterns produced under nearby illumination directions provide a gating mechanism, allowing us to measure the singly scattered co mponent of the light, even when observing thick samples where most light i s scattered multiple times.\n\nWe have built an experimental prototype cap able of measuring phase functions over a narrow angular cone. We test the accuracy of our approach using validation materials whose ground truth pha se function is known; and we use it to capture a set of everyday materials .\n\nRegistration Category: FULL ACCESS, EXPERIENCE PLUS ACCESS, EXPERIENC E ACCESS, TRADE EXHIBITOR\n\nLanguage: ENGLISH\n\nFormat: IN-PERSON URL:https://sa2022.siggraph.org/en/full-program/?id=papers_181&sess=sess15 3 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
