tfg.math.spherical_harmonics.evaluate_spherical_harmonics

Evaluates a point sample of a Spherical Harmonic basis function.

tfg.math.spherical_harmonics.evaluate_spherical_harmonics(
    degree_l,
    order_m,
    theta,
    phi,
    name=None
)

Defined in math/spherical_harmonics.py.

Note:

This function is implementating the algorithm and variable names described p. 12 of 'Spherical Harmonic Lighting: The Gritty Details.

Note:

In the following, A1 to An are optional batch dimensions.

Args:

• degree_l: An integer tensor of shape [A1, ..., An, C], where the last dimension represents the band of the spherical harmonics. Note that degree_l must be non-negative.
• order_m: An integer tensor of shape [A1, ..., An, C], where the last dimension represents the index of the spherical harmonics in the band degree_l. Note that order_m must satisfy 0 <= order_m <= l.
• theta: A tensor of shape [A1, ..., An, 1]. This variable stores the polar angle of the sameple. Values of theta must be in [0, pi].
• phi: A tensor of shape [A1, ..., An, 1]. This variable stores the azimuthal angle of the sameple. Values of phi must be in [0, 2pi].
• name: A name for this op. Defaults to 'spherical_harmonics_evaluate_spherical_harmonics'.

Returns:

A tensor of shape [A1, ..., An, C] containing the evaluation of each basis of the spherical harmonics.

Raises:

• ValueError: if the shape of theta or phi is not supported.
• InvalidArgumentError: if at least an element of l, m, theta or phi is outside the expected range.
