(eng): Capturing appearance of material with respect to illumination and viewing directions is crucial to achieve realistic visual experience in virtual environments. The capturing process is time demanding or requires a specific shape of the captured material. Therefore, we propose a method of such a data reconstruction from very sparse measurements, whose placement allows for continuous and fast acquisition, from which can benefit future acquisition setups. The proposed approach was tested on a number of view- and illumination- dependent samples and showed a promising performance in terms of whole data-space reconstruction speed and visual quality.
