Area of Science:

  • Visual Perception
  • Material Science
  • Computer Graphics
  • Psychophysics

Background:

  • Understanding complex visual processing of object materials requires diverse research approaches.
  • Sharing stimulus and response data is crucial for comparing results across studies and facilitating interdisciplinary research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To construct a comprehensive database of material images with annotated visual discrimination performance data.
  • To enable direct comparison of results from different studies on material perception.
  • To provide a resource for researchers from various backgrounds to enter the field of material perception.

Main Methods:

  • Material images were generated using physically based computer graphics.
  • Psychophysical experiments were conducted in both laboratory and crowdsourcing settings.
  • A nonverbal oddity task was used for material discrimination across dimensions like gloss, translucency, and material type (metal, glass, plastic).

Main Results:

  • Material discrimination performance was influenced by variations in illumination and object geometry.
  • Discriminating the spatial consistency of specular highlights in gloss perception exhibited significant individual differences.
  • Higher-order color texture statistics partially explained task performance, but not completely.

Conclusions:

  • The developed database is a valuable resource for studying visual material perception.
  • Crowdsourced results strongly correlated with laboratory findings, indicating the database's utility even with less controlled experimental conditions.
  • The nonverbal task design supports broad applicability across diverse populations and research areas.
