چکیده
We report results from a new methodology for investigating the visually perceived properties of surface textures. Densely sampled two-dimensional 1/f^β noise processes are used to model natural looking surfaces, which are rendered using combined point-source and ambient lighting. Surfaces are shown in motion to provide rich cues to their relief. They are generated in real time to enable observers to dynamically manipulate surface parameters. A method of adjustment is employed to investigate the effects that the two surface parameters, magnitude roll-off factor and RMS height, have on perceived roughness. The results are used to develop an estimation method for perceived roughness.

Perceived roughness of 1/fβ noise surfaces
We report results from a new methodology for investigating the visually perceived properties of surface textures. Densely sampled two-dimensional 1/f(beta) noise processes are used to model natural looking surfaces, which are rendered using combined point-source and ambient lighting. Surfaces are shown in motion to provide rich cues to their relief. They are generated in real time to enable obs...
متن کاملMeasurement of Perceptual Roughness in Fractal Surfaces
In this paper we present an investigation into visually perceived surface roughness. First we present psychophysical evidence that suggests that there is a simple relationship between perceived roughness and two well known surface parameters: fractal dimension and rms roughness. And that neither are good estimators, on there own, of perceived roughness. Second we present a measurement model for...
متن کاملA Variation Code Accounts for the Perceived Roughness of Coarsely Textured Surfaces
For decades, the dominant theory of roughness coding in the somatosensory nerves posited that perceived roughness was determined by the spatial pattern of activation in one population of tactile nerve fibers, namely slowly adapting type 1 (SA1) afferents. Indeed, the perceived roughness of coarsely textured surfaces tracks the spatial variation in SA1 responses - the degree to which response st...
متن کاملHow direction of illumination affects visually perceived surface roughness.
We examined visual estimation of surface roughness using random, computer-generated, three-dimensional (3D) surfaces rendered under a mixture of diffuse lighting and a punctate source. The angle between the tangent to the plane containing the surface texture and the direction to the punctate source was varied from 50 to 70 deg across lighting conditions. Observers were presented with pairs of s...
متن کاملThe joint effect of mesoscale and microscale roughness on perceived gloss
Computer simulated stimuli can provide a flexible method for creating artificial scenes in the study of visual perception of material surface properties. Previous work based on this approach reported that the properties of surface roughness and glossiness are mutually interdependent and therefore, perception of one affects the perception of the other. In this case roughness was limited to a sur...
