| 22 |

files, each nominally containing |
| 22 |
> |
different incident beam angles or sampling patterns, |
| 23 |
> |
and produces a Scattering Interpolant Representation (SIR) |
| 24 |
|
on the standard output for further processing. |
| 25 |
|
The binary SIR contains a Radial Basis Function fitting |
| 26 |
|
each incident BSDF data file |
| 27 |
< |
and a "transport plan" between neighboring RBF |
| 27 |
> |
and a "transport plan" matrix for each pair of neighboring RBF |
| 28 |
|
directions in a spherical Delaunay mesh. |

The SIR provides a complete 4-dimensional |

.I \-t |

Multi-processing may be used to accelerate the program |
| 61 |
|
on systems that support it via the |
| 62 |
|
.I \-n |

.I \-s |

option must be specified if the default mirroring is not appropriate. |

If a |
| 103 |
+ |
.I \-g |
| 104 |
+ |
option is present, it will cull scattered measurements that are nearer |
| 105 |
+ |
to grazing than the given angle in degrees. |
| 106 |
+ |
If the word "auto" (which can be abbreviated as 'a' or 'A') is given |
| 107 |
+ |
instead of an angle, then the near-grazing angle will be determined |
| 108 |
+ |
by the lowest incident angle measurement present in the input data. |
| 109 |
+ |
This is sometimes necessary to eliminate noise and edge effects that |
| 110 |
+ |
some measurements exhibit near grazing. |
