Human gloss perception reproduced by tiny neural networks

2025-05-15

Abstract excerpt

A key goal of visual neuroscience is to explain how our brains infer object properties like colour, curvature, or gloss. Here, we used machine learning to identify computations underlying human gloss judgments from object images—traditionally considered a challenging inference. Thousands of object images of varied shapes were rendered with a Ward reflectance model under diverse lighting and viewpoints, and we crow...
