Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis is a guide describing the selecting of geometric conditions of measurement of
3、 appearanceattributes such as color, gloss, reflectance, opacity, and transmittance. It includes a selection ofnumerical scales for appearance attributes other than color.In describing appearance, wavelength (or spectral) variability is primarily responsible for color,while geometric (or directional
4、) selectivity is primarily responsible for gloss, luster, translucency, andlike attributes. However, geometric conditions not only affect geometric variables such as gloss andtransparency, but also affect color, diffuse reflectance, and transmittance. Likewise spectral conditionscan affect the measu
5、rement of geometric attributes of appearance. Therefore both the spectral andgeometric conditions of measurement must be identified in specifying an appearance attribute of aspecimen.This guide describes the selection of geometric conditions and as a consequence should helpimprove agreement in these
6、 measurements as well as providing useful guidance in resolvingdifferences between spectral-type measurements that are related to geometry.1. Scope1.1 This guide is intended for use in selecting terminology, measurement scales, and instrumentation for describing orevaluating such appearance characte
7、ristics as glossiness, opacity, lightness, transparency, and haziness in terms of reflected ortransmitted light. This guide does not consider the spectral variations responsible for color, but the geometric variables describedherein can importantly affect instrumentally measured values of color. Thi

Part of the light may be reflected, part may betransmitted, and part may be absorbed. This guide deals with the refle

Types of Measurement Scales5.1 Type of ScaleThe terms defined in 3.1.6 3.1.8 to may be further ide
34、ntified by a preceding adjective, such as specular,regular, diffuse, total, or directional, thereby identifying the basis for the measurement scale. The significance of each of theseadjectives is as follows:5.1.1 regularindicates that only light that has been reflected or transmitted without scatter
35、ing or diffusion is included formeasurement. When a specimen scatters or diffuses the incident light on reflection or transmission, the values obtained will dependon the angular size of the illuminator and receiver used in the measurement.5.1.2 specularindicates that only the light that is mirror-re
36、flected is included for measurement. The CIE prefers the modifierregular instead of specular although specular reflectance is recognized. Specular has also sometimes been used to refer to regulartransmittance. This is a misnomer because specular refers to a mirror.5.1.3 diffuseindicates that only th
37、e light reflected or transmitted in directions other than the specular or regular direction isincluded in the measurement.NOTE 1The differences between the concepts of regular and diffuse components of reflection and transmission are shown in Table 1.5.1.4 totalindicates that the light reflected or
38、transmitted in all directions is included for measurement.5.1.5 directionalindicates that the light reflected or transmitted in specified directions only is included for measurement.Directional values depend on the illumination and viewing angles and refer to light reflected or transmitted in direct
39、ions that differmoderately from the centroid direction or axis of the beam.6. Geometric Directions of Incidence and Viewing6.1 Geometric directions may be identified by preceding the adjective with the angular directions, by including a detailedgeometric description, or by placing after the symbols
40、a subscript that represents the measurement condition.NOTE 2This guide is concerned with bidirectional or hemispherical measurement systems. For gonophotometricgonioapparent methods, seePracticeSection E1678.4. For methods of specifying the geometry of measurements, see Practice E1767.6.2 illuminati
41、on and viewing anglesthe angles of illumination and viewing are identified as follows (see Fig. 3):6.2.1 illumination angle, ithe angle between the incident-beam axis and the normal (perpendicular) to the surface of thespecimen (the specimen normal).6.2.2 viewing angle for reflection, rangle between
42、 the surface normal and the axis of the receiver.6.2.3 viewing angle for transmission, tangle between the axis of the transmitted beam and the axis of the receiver.FIG. 3 Designations of Flux, , and Angles , , for Reflectance and Transmittance MeasurementE179 1746.3 aperture anglesthe angles subtend
43、ed at a point on the specimen by the maximum dimension of the apparent illuminatorand receiver. They are a necessary part of the geometric specification because the finite size of every practical illuminator limitscollimation.6.4 azimuthal angle, the angle between the plane containing the illuminato
44、r axis and the specimen normal and the planecontaining the receiver axis and the specimen normal. Unless an azimuthal angle is specified, the illuminator axis, the specimennormal, and the receiver axis are taken to be in the same plane.6.5 rotation angle, the angle indicating the orientation of the
45、test specimen when it is rotated in its own plane. The orientationof the specimen is considered to be part of the specimen description in this guide (see 12.2.7).6.6 Complete geometric specifications are necessary for measuring such geometrically dependent factors as gloss, transparency,and haze. Fo
46、r ideally specular or ideally regular or diffuse reflection or transmission, specification of only the directions ofillumination and view is usually adequate.7. Measured Quantities7.1 The following quantities, defined and described in more detail in the Illuminating and Viewing Conditions section of
47、Practice E1164 and in CIE Publication No. 15.2,15, are those most commonly measured by spectrophotometry and tristimulus(filter) colorimetry for the assessment of color and related appearance attributes.7.1.1 45/normal (45/0) and normal/45 (0/45) reflectance factorfor the 45/0 condition, the specime
48、n is illuminated by oneor more beams at an angle of 45 from the specimen normal to the specimen surface. The angle between the direction of viewingand the specimen normal should not exceed 10. For the 0/45 condition, these requirements are interchanged. Suitable restrictionson the angles of illumina
49、tion and viewing and on the aperture angles should be observed.7.1.2 total/normal (t/0) or diffuse/normal (d/0) and normal/total (0/t) or normal/diffuse (0/d) reflectance factorfor the t/0 ord/0 conditions, the specimen is illuminated diffusely, for example by an integrating sphere. The angle between the normal to thespecimen surface and the direction of viewing should not exceed 10. If all specularly reflected light is included in themeasurements, the condition is t/0; if all specularly
