The Influence of Gloss on Color Perception in Artificial Human Faces

Material properties, such as gloss, can influence how people perceive and characterize an object’s color. While it is possible to account for the influence of gloss on color appearance for most objects in general, human faces are a somewhat unique class of object because of their prevalence and importance in people’s daily lives. For instance, it is possible that people are better at ignoring highlights and artifacts that result from glossy material on faces, than they are on other kinds of objects, because of high familiarity and expectations about typical face appearance. Further, given the increasing prevalence of artificial face generation (e.g., in making avatars, video games, virtual media), it is important to understand how model parameters like gloss influence the perception of artificial faces. The current research investigates how material spectral roughness influences perceptions of gloss and color appearance on faces. This research can help inform how artificial social agents are generated and displayed in emerging virtual environments.

Bio

Yuan Tian is a Ph.D. student in the Munsell Color Science Laboratory at Rochester Institute of Technology. Her research interests include material appearances and gloss perception. She currently focuses on how gloss perception influences color of objects. 

The Inter-Society Color Council advances the knowledge of color as it relates to art, science, industry and design.
Each of these fields enriches the others, furthering the general objective of color education.
