Measuring, modeling, and reproducing material appearance. Proceedings: 3 - 4 February 2014, San Francisco, California, United States

The main topics encountered on the papers of this document correspond to any of the following categories: Methods for measuring material properties: measurement of Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Functions (BRDF), Bidirectional Texture Functions (BTF) and Bidirectional Surface Scattering Reflectance Distribution Function (BSSRDF); estimation of material difference perception; evaluation of metallic coatings/inks; measurement of glossiness; estimation of texture perception; data acquisition methods for different types of materials. Models for distinct characteristics of materials: modeling of Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Functions (BRDF), Bidirectional Texture Functions (BTF) and Bidirectional Surface Scattering Reflectance Distribution Function (BSSRDF); modeling material difference perception; appearance modeling of glossiness and texture; modeling of varnish and special effects inks; softproofing methods for 2.5D and 3D printing. Material reproduction aspects: quality evaluation of 2.5D and 3D soft- and hardcopy reproductions (display and printing); estimation of effects of environmental aspects in material perception (lighting, observers' position, printing media); estimation of sensory input (visual, touch, audio) effect in material perception; evaluation of aesthetic aspects of 2.5D and 3D soft- and hard-copy reproductions (display and printing); saliency of 2.5D and 3D soft- and hard-copy reproductions (display and printing); imaging and perception of metallic and effect coatings/inks; saliency, quality, and aesthetics in appearance reproduction; spectral reproduction
