   Perception of surface color and material properties


Researchers have devoted much effort to understanding the perception  
of color and lightness for simple stimulus configurations, often  
consisting of flat matte surfaces  rendered under diffuse  
illuminations, or simulations thereof. The objects we look at in daily  
viewing, on the other hand, are rarely flat, matte, or diffusely  
illuminated.  There is now considerable interest in pushing our  
understanding into the realm of more complex, three-dimensional  
scenes, spurred in part by advances in computer graphics that allow  
physically accurate rendering of a variety of materials and thus  
permit exploration of interactions between object shape and  
orientation, object material, and illumination geometry. The Journal  
of Vision plans a Special Issue to bring together papers that describe  
recent advances in this area.  The following list provides  
representative topics, but papers in closely related areas will also  
be considered.


What is the effect of object material on color and lightness  
perception, particularly for objects viewed in complex three- 
dimensional scenes?
How are object reflectance properties best measured and parameterized?
What are good models of image formation for complex scenes?
How do we perceive what materials an object is made of?
What information that might allow separation of object and illuminant  
properties is available in the image, and is this information used by  
biological vision systems?
This feature is intended to focus on progress since the publication of  
a similar special issue in Journal of Vision in 2004 (http://journalofvision.org/4/9/ 
).

Journal of Vision is an open-access online journal that encourages the  
use of images, color, movies, hyperlinks, demonstrations, original  
datasets, and other digital enhancements. To submit a paper to this  
special issue please follow the Instructions for Authors at http://www.journalofvision.org/info/info_for_authors.aspx 
. All papers will be subjected to full peer review.
