| | The aim of this post is to motivate the idea of representing probability spaces as states on a commutative algebra. We will consider how this abstract construction relates directly to classical probabilities. In the standard axiomatization of probability theory, due to Kolmogorov, the central construct is a probability space $latex {(\Omega,\mathcal F,{\mathbb P})}&fg=000000$. This consists...

| | As a warm-up to the subject of this blog post, consider the problem of how to classify$latex n \times m$ matrices $latex M \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times m}$ up to change of basis in both the source ($latex \mathbb{R}^m$) and the target ($latex \mathbb{R}^n$). In other words, the problem is todescribe the equivalence classes of the...

| | When you read BRDF theory papers, you'll often see mention of slope space. Sometimes, components of the BRDF such as NDFs or masking-shadowing functions are defined in slope space, or operations are done in slope space before being converted back to ordinary vectors or polar coordinates. However, the meaning and intuition of slope space is rarely explained. Since it may not be obvious exactly what slope space is, why it is useful, or how to transform things to and from it, I thought I would write down a ...
