International audienceIn this article, we investigate the benefit of including texture information in models of gloss perception of low-gloss textured achromatic plastic surfaces from the automotive industry. 4 models are compared: two gloss prediction models including texture information, one using data from reflectometry (M1) and one using data from goniophotometry (M2), and two models using data from reflectometry (M3) or goniophotometry (M4) alone. Both texture-corrected models (M1-M2) outclass the uncorrected intensity-based models, mainly because they are made texture invariant. Although the texture-corrected reflectometer-based prediction (M1) correlates rather well with sensory data, a more consistent fit is obtained by mixing textural to goniophotometric data (M2). This can be explained by the fact that contrast gloss is better than multiangle specular gloss at reflecting the observer's gloss evaluation strategy
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
