A Review on the History and Concept of Some Type of Glosses

One crucial aspect of object quality control involves assessing their visual properties. Objects possess three key properties that significantly contribute to their quality, beauty, and impressiveness. These properties can be primarily categorized into colorimetric characteristics and geometrical properties. Among these attributes, the gloss factor stands out as one of the most significant geometrical properties of surfaces. It profoundly impacts how people perceive an object's appearance, creating the impression of a bright and shiny surface. The evaluation of the gloss parameter holds great importance in quality control across various industries, including textiles, automotive, printing, packaging, and more. Numerous research studies have been conducted to harmonize the definition of the gloss concept, bridging the gap between instrumental measurement and human visual perception. The ultimate objective of these studies is to develop descriptive models that accurately quantify gloss and align with the results of human visual perception. This paper provides a comprehensive description and definition of the various perceptual aspects of gloss, highlighting its significance in diverse industries. Additionally, it reviews research carried out in the field, focusing on different evaluation methods and the quantification of gloss.
