Abstract
We report on a novel analytical solution of the three-dimensional radiative transport equation for the case of an infinitely extended anisotropically scattering medium that is illuminated by an isotropic point light source. The resulting expression for the radiance can be evaluated efficiently and accurately and exhibits significant improvements with respect to the convergence and the numerical stability compared to the solutions found in the literature so far. The equations obtained were successfully verified by comparisons with the Monte Carlo method.
