Web Call for Papers
The visual appearance can be one of the most critical parameters affecting customer choice and it needs, therefore, to be quantifiable to ensure uniformity and reproducibility. A starting point in assessing the appearance of a consumer product might be the measurement of its colour. The description of its total appearance, however, cannot be achieved by the definition of colour alone; other attributes of the object contribute to the overall appearance and these might include gloss, translucency and surface texture, as well as the environment in which the object is seen.
The aim of this symposium is to report and review the interactions between these various components that provide a framework to describe and measure visual appearance. The interactions between the various components are complex. Physical parameters are related to the objects in scenes and these in turn are influenced, at the perception stage, by the physiological response of the human visual system and, in addition by the psychological aspects of human learning, pattern, culture and tradition.
The CIE Expert Symposium on Visual Appearance will feature Invited Papers and Contributed Papers. A Poster Session will also be included. Papers should deal with one of the following subjects:
-
Gloss, texture, translucency
-
Definition of appearance and appearance attributes
-
Appearance measurement
-
Instruments and standards
