Problems of Perceiving Gloss on Complex Surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
Over the past 20 years, there have been many studies looking at how highlight disparity affects an observer's perception of glossiness. Most of these studies have used relatively smooth surfaces, and simple lighting models. We are using surfaces which are rougher and more naturalistic than those used before, using a rendering method which takes into account physically accurate properties of light to create stimuli which are as close to 'real' samples as we can currently generate. To this end, we present the results of a pilot experiment designed to look into this problem. These results seem to imply that the relationship between gloss perception, highlight disparity and roughness is more complex than previously reported.

Envisioning the Material World
Efforts to understand human vision have largely focused on our abilities to perceive the geometric properties of objects and have neglected the perception of materials. However correctly perceiving materials is at least as important as perceiving object geometry, and human vision allows us to tell if objects are hard or soft, smooth or rough, clean or dirty, fresh or spoiled, and dead or alive....
متن کاملEffects of Image Dynamic Range on Apparent Surface Gloss
In this paper we present results from an experiment designed to investigate the effects of image dynamic range on apparent surface gloss. Using a high dynamic range display, we present high dynamic range (HDR) and standard dynamic range (tone mapped, SDR) renderings of glossy objects in pairs and ask subjects to choose the glossier object. We analyze the results of the experiments using Thursto...
متن کاملA Glossy Simultaneous Contrast: Conjoint Measurements of Gloss and Lightness
Interactions between the albedo and the gloss on a surface are commonplace. Darker surfaces are perceived glossier (contrast gloss) than lighter surfaces and darker backgrounds can enhance perceived lightness of surfaces. We used maximum likelihood conjoint measurements to simultaneously quantify the strength of those effects. We quantified the extent to which albedo can influence perceived glo...

The current study investigated the effects of L1 and L2 glosses on L2 vocabulary retention in incidental and intentional settings. To this end, 100 intermediate Iranian female learners of English as a foreign language at Soroosh High School were given a pre-test to make sure that they do not have any prior knowledge of the target words. Reading passages with three different glossing conditions ...
متن کاملWhy do rough surfaces appear glossy?
The majority of work on the perception of gloss has been performed using smooth surfaces (e.g., spheres). Previous studies that have employed more complex surfaces reported that increasing mesoscale roughness increases perceived gloss [Psychol. Sci.19, 196 (2008), J. Vis.10(9), 13 (2010), Curr. Biol.22, 1909 (2012)]. We show that the use of realistic rendering conditions is important and that, ...
