Problems of Perceiving Gloss on Complex Surfaces

Methven, Thomas S.; Chantler, Mike J.

Abstract

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.
