ABSTRACT
Translucent materials are ubiquitous in the real world, from organic materials such as food or human skin, to synthetic materials like plastic or rubber. While multiple models for translucent materials exist, understanding how we perceive translucent appearance, and how it is affected by illumination and geometry, remains an open problem. In this work, we analyze how well human observers estimate the density of translucent objects for static and dynamic illumination scenarios. Interestingly, our results suggest that dynamic illumination may not be critical to assess the nature of translucent materials.

SAP '22: ACM Symposium on Applied Perception 2022Translucent materials are ubiquitous in our daily lives, from organic materials such as food, liquids or human skin, to synthetic materials like plastic or rubber. In these materials, light penetrates inside the surface and scatters in the medium ...
Effects of global illumination approximations on material appearance
Rendering applications in design, manufacturing, ecommerce and other fields are used to simulate the appearance of objects and scenes. Fidelity with respect to appearance is often critical, and calculating global illumination (GI) is an important ...
Low-Level Image Cues in the Perception of Translucent Materials
When light strikes a translucent material (such as wax, milk or fruit flesh), it enters the body of the object, scatters and reemerges from the surface. The diffusion of light through translucent materials gives them a characteristic visual softness and ...
