Image Contrast Measure as a Gloss Material Descriptor
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bidirectional reflectance distribution function provides a physical description of material appearance. In particular, it helps to describe the gloss. We suggest that, at least, one attribute of gloss: Contrast gloss (luster), may be described directly from an image by using local image contrast measurement. In this article, we investigate the relation between image contrast measures, gloss perception and bidirectional reflectance distribution function based on the Ward’s α model parameter. Although more investigation is required to provide stronger conclusions, it seems that image related contrast measures may provide an indication of gloss perception.

The image content detectability and image structure preservation are closely related concepts with undeniable role in image quality assessment. However, the most attention of image quality studies has been paid to image structure evaluation, few of them focused on image content detectability. Examining the image structure was firstly introduced and assessed in Structural SIMilarity (SSIM) measu...
متن کاملImproving the Perceptual Uniformity of a Gloss Space
The perceptual gloss space defined in Pellacini et al. [9] could be used for quality control applications to bring similar benefits as seen in color with the use of CIELAB. However, a distance metric to relate all the dimensions in the space does not exist, and the space was only validated with the materials used to define the space. The current space’s distance metric does not allow relating d...
متن کاملOn pictures and stuff: image quality and material appearance
Realistic images are a puzzle because they serve as visual representations of objects while also being objects themselves. When we look at an image we are able to perceive both the properties of the image and the properties of the objects represented by the image. Research on image quality has typically focused improving image properties (resolution, dynamic range, frame rate, etc.) while ignor...
متن کاملStatistical correlates of perceived gloss in natural images
It is currently debated whether the perception of gloss is linked to the statistical parameters of the retinal image. In particular, it has been suggested that gloss is highly correlated with the skewness of the luminance histogram. However, other psychophysical work with artificial stimuli has shown that skewness alone is not enough to induce the perception of gloss. Here, we analyzed many ima...
متن کاملGloss discrimination and eye movements
Human observers are able to make fine discriminations of surface gloss. What cues are they using to perform this task? In previous studies, we identified two reflection-related cues—the contrast of the reflected image (c, contrast gloss) and the sharpness of reflected image (d, distinctness-of-image gloss)--but these were for objects rendered in standard dynamic range (SDR) images with compress...
