9-10 Novembre 2021 | Workshop: High-precision BRDF Measurement

The european consortium on optical metrology for material appearance, BxDiff, as well as GDR Appamat and Institut d'Optique Graduate School propose a two-day winter school on high-precision BRDF measurement, including lessons on the state of the art, and a workshop on current research issues.


New requirements in terms of product appearance characterization, regarding gloss in particular, generate a growing demand in and a varied offer of measurement devices. This rapid evolution reinforces the need to develop reference tools and high precision primary metrology, including precise measurand definitions, primary standards, and high-precision instruments.  Most recent progresses in this domain, and same related problems that arise, are the subject of this two-day winter school co-organized by the european consortium BxDiff, founded by Euramet and gathering several metrological institutes and companies from Europe, GDR Appamat, and the Institut d’Optique Graduate School.

Registration to the event is free, but mandatory: see the registration form below


Day 1 – State of the art: optical metrology for appearance

9 december 2021 – Room L125


On the occasion of this winter school, the course day organized by the Institut d’Optique for students of the Advanced Imaging and Material Appearance (AIMA) master is open to all participants. The lessons will be given by Gael Obein from the LNE-CNAM laboratory, also leader of the BxDiff consortium, and other researcher of the consortium.
