- Inverse rendering pipelines are gaining prominence in realizing photo-realistic reconstruction of real-world objects for emulating them in virtual reality scenes. Apart from material reflectances, spectral rendering and in-scene illuminants' spectral power distributions (SPDs) play important roles in producing photo-realistic images. We present a simple, low-cost technique to capture and reconstruct the SPD of uniform illuminants. Instead of requiring a costly spectrometer for such measurements, our method uses a diffractive compact disk (CD-ROM) and a machine learning approach for accurate estimation. We show our method to work well with spotlights under simulations and few real-world examples. Presented results clearly demonstrate the reliability of our approach through quantitative and qualitative evaluations, especially in spectral rendering of iridescent materials.
