Benchmarking modern gloss correlators with established ISO 2813 standard and visual judgment of gloss

Abstract

Interaction between the diffuse colour and the gloss of its surface is common. In this work, the influence of different gloss levels is tested on the diffuse colour. Firstly, we investigated how the albedo colour correlates with the reflected specular part. Furthermore, we provided a visual experiment. The visual experiment is conducted in two parts. The results of the visual experiment show that changing the angle of illumination does not affect the final gloss perception. Furthermore, a fitting of the gloss perception is done to find a parameter that correlates with the visual perception of gloss. The results show that there is a quadratic correlation between the Canon scattering indexes and the perceptual gloss.
