In everyday life, the visual system is remarkably good at recognizing materials across a wide range of viewing conditions. This paper addresses problem identifying real samples from appearance. Here, we consider gloss as an appearance attribute that could reveal certain information about object properties. We prepared twelve glass and PMMA eroded these using different agents. The haze were measured 60 degrees via meter. For all samples, surface roughness properties measured. Microfacet...

Recent demands for infrasound measurement, whether detecting violent atmospheric events or evaluating the environmental impact of wind farms, require new acoustic calibration standards in frequency range below 2Hz. Expanding bandwidth microphones remains a limited strategy since they are designed to filter out continuous components. An alternative method measuring is proposed, which relies on Fabry-Perot interferometer. This technique has been studied extensively static pressure measurements...
In 2000, the Bureau National de Métrologie (BNM, France) decided to develop a new watt balance experiment. Among numerous design studies, choice of transfer mass is particularly important. Because proximity source high magnetic intensity, this must have susceptibility as weak possible. Gold–platinum alloy seems meet requirement, well additional requirements for density and hardness values, making it possible candidate standard realization. Five different gold–platinum alloys were studied,...
In the European Joint Research Project 'Multidimensional Reflectometry for Industry', a new gloss scale was developed with aim to represent different levels of gloss, hue, roughness, and refractive indices. this paper, surfaces six selected samples were thoroughly investigated using various measuring techniques in order verify outcome novel manufacturing processes terms distinct as well types surface roughness.
