The human visual system has a remarkable ability to perceive complex 3D shape from a variety of surface types. These surfaces can include ones shaded using the standard Phong model or mirror surfaces which can be rendered using a variety of surrounding environments. This thesis presents four visual perception experiments that examine the perception of local qualitative shape under various conditions. Surfaces were rendered using standard computer graphics models of matte, glossy, and mirror reflectance. For each experiment, the subjects' task was to judge whether a marked point on each surface lay on a local hill or valley. A variety of novel findings were made in these experiments which touch on various aspects of perceptual capabilities o...
