Study of Texture Appearance Using Computer Graphics

Visual perception of texture of textiles

“…The perception of surface texture via light stimuli is a phenomenon of importance for human life, because the surface texture of material has great impact on design and planning in relation to not only various products but also computer graphics. [1][2][3][4] In the near future of information technology, the surface texture of products as perceived on a computer monitor will have to be nearly equal to the perceived surface texture of real products to effect accurate communication of information. However, the relation between the geometric structure of an object surface and reflected light, the relation between stimuli provided to the eye by reflected light, and the psychological perception of texture are not yet understood sufficiently.…”

“…1 shows a model of light reflection from the surface of a textile. Light reflected from the textile consists of three kinds of reflections: (1) diffuse reflection at the surface layer of fibers, (2) diffuse reflection by multifarious reflections between surfaces of internal fibers, and (3) regular reflection at the surfaces of fibers.…”

Extracting fabric hand information from visual representations of flared skirts

“…1,[21][22][23] But so far, there is not a commonly accepted FOM that is capable of truly and comprehensively quantifying people's complicated sense of touch. [24][25][26] In fact, according to the previous description about sensory evaluation and the definition put forward by the Textile Institute in 1975 that fabric hand is 'the subjective assessment of a textile material obtained from the sense of touch', 27 there are enough reasons to believe that the most reliable and effective way to study fabric tactile properties might be from the perspective of human natural perception. It is especially the case when a textile product is to be evaluated in a virtual experience.…”
