“…Xiao et al Xiao et al (2020) have shown that a sharp surface relief enhances perceived opacity and argue that this can be attributed to sharper and darker shadows generated by these areas, which on the one hand agrees with the previous findings (Fleming & Bülthoff, 2005;Motoyoshi, 2010) that blurriness and brightness (mean luminance) of the shadowed regions can play a role in translucency perception, but on the other hand, should be taken with care, as the sharp and fine details of the surface can also lead to interreflections and bright appearance, as this is the case for the Lucy in Figure 14. In another work (Xiao et al, 2014), they observed that the thin parts and fine details of the Lucy contribute most to translucent material discrimination, supporting similar observations by other researchers (Fleming & Bülthoff, 2005;Gkioulekas et al, 2015;Nagai et al, 2013).…”
