Original abstract

The bidirectional reflectance factor (BRF) characterizes the directional radiative properties of terrestrial surfaces. However, existing three-dimensional (3D) radiative transfer models require complex scene construction and computationally intensive radiative transfer solvers, limiting efficient generation of multi-angle hyperspectral reflectance imagery. 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) offers an efficient framework for neural scene representation and novel view synthesis, but its low-order spherical harmonics representation is insufficient for complex directional reflectance, while the high dimensionality and inter-band quality differences of hyperspectral data introduce additional challenges. To address these challenges, we propose BRF-GS, a 3DGS-based framework for BRF modeling and hyperspectral reflectance image generation. BRF-GS introduces a hybrid BRDF-driven kernel to represent complex directional reflectance, selects geometry-reliable spectral bands for robust 3D scene initialization, and adopts a two-stage training strategy that decouples geometry optimization from spectral modeling. We further construct the AIR-BRF dataset, a multi-angle hyperspectral directional reflectance dataset comprising three scenes with diverse natural and artificial targets. Experiments demonstrate that BRF-GS achieves superior spatial and spectral fidelity and accurately reproduces characteristic view-dependent BRF responses. The proposed framework provides an efficient data-driven approach for BRF modeling and multi-angle hyperspectral reflectance image generation in remote sensing scenes.
