[[File:BRDF_Diagram.svg|thumb|right|300px|Diagram showing vectors used to define the [[w:BRDF|BRDF]].]]

{{Q|The '''bidirectional reflectance distribution function''' ('''BRDF''') is a function of four real variables that defines how light is reflected at an [[w:Opacity (optics)|opaque]] surface. It is employed in the [[w:optics|optics]] of real-world light, in [[w:computer graphics|computer graphics]] algorithms, and in [[w:computer vision|computer vision]] algorithms.|Wikipedia|[[w:bidirectional reflectance distribution function|BRDF]]}}

A BRDF model is a 7 dimensional model containing geometry, textures and reflectance of the subject. 

The seven dimensions of the BRDF model are as follows: 
* 3 cartesian X,Y,Z 
* 2 for the entry angle
* 2 for the exit angle of the light.

= Covert modeling =
'''Covert modeling''' refers to both covertly modeling aspects of a subject i.e. without express consent.

Main known cases are
* Covertly modeling the '''human appearance''' into 7-dimensional [[#Bidirectional reflectance distribution function|]] model or other type of model.
* Covertly modeling the '''human voice'''
There is work ongoing to model e.g. '''human's style of writing''', but this is probably not as drastic a threat as the covert modeling of appearance and of voice.

{{Q|'''Deepfake''' (a [[w:portmanteau|portmanteau]] of "[[w:deep learning|deep learning]]" and "fake") is a technique for [[w:human image synthesis|human image synthesis]] based on [[w:artificial intelligence|artificial intelligence]]. It is used to combine and [[w:Superimposition|superimpose]] existing images and videos onto source images or videos using a machine learning technique called a "[[w:generative adversarial network|generative adversarial network]]" (GAN).|Wikipedia|[[w:Deepfake|Deepfake]]s}}

= Digital look-alike =
When the camera does not exist, but the subject being imaged with a simulation of a (movie) camera deceives the watcher to believe it is some living or dead person it is a '''[[digital look-alikes|digital look-alike]]'''. 

----
= Digital sound-alike =
When it cannot be determined by human testing, is some synthesized recording a simulation of some person's speech, or is it a recording made of that person's actual real voice, it is a '''[[digital sound-alikes|digital sound-alike]]'''.

= No camera =
'''No camera''' ('''!''') refers to the fact that a simulation of a camera is not a camera. If people realize the differences, and thus the different restrictions by many types of laws e.g. physics, physiology.

----

= Reflectance capture =
'''Reflectance capture''' is made by measuring the reflected light for each incoming light direction and every exit direction, often with many different wavelengths. Using polarisers allow to separately capture the specular and the diffuse reflected light. The first known reflectance capture over the human face was made in 1999 by Paul Debevec et al at the [[w:University of Southern California]].

= Synthetic terror porn =
'''Synthetic terror porn''' is pornography synthesized with terrorist intent. '''Synthetic rape porn''' is probably by far the most prevalent form of this, but it must be noted that synthesizing '''consentual looking sex scenes''' can also be '''terroristic''' in intent and effect.
