At the moment there are two metrics to measure and characterize scattering surfaces- the diffusion coefficient, d, and the scattering coefficient, s

Publication AES-4id-2001, created by Working Group SC-04-02, chaired by Dr. Peter D'Antonio and vice-chair Dr. Trevor Cox, describes a method to determine the uniform diffusion coefficient. This coefficient, which is bound between zero and one, is derived from the circular autocorrelation of the 1/3-octave angular responses. This method is being incorporated in ISO/TC 43/SC 2/WG 25, ) ISO 17497 as Part II. The diffusion coefficient can be used to evaluate potential diffusing surfaces.

Publication ISO 17497-1, created by Working Group ISO/TC 43/SC 2/WG 25, chaired by Dr. Jens Rindel, describes a method to evaluate the random incidence scattering coefficient. This is obtained by a comparison of the reverberation times, obtained from phase-locked average integrated impulse responses, for a stationary and rotating sample in a reverberation chamber.
