	Perception of Color and Material Properties in Complex Scenes

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). Recently, there has been 
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 purpose of this special issue is 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 included.

	-Color and lightness constancy in binocular, three-dimensional scenes.
	-Perception and identification of object material properties.
	-Exploitation of natural scene statistics in the recovery of 
surface reflectance.
	-Statistics of surface reflectance and illumination geometry 
in natural scenes.
	-Algorithms for recovery of material properties, including 
color, in 3D scenes.
	-Perception of illumination and transparency in 3D scenes.
