Gloss is very important optical property influencing the perceived quality of the paper surface as well as the surface after printing. Although the average gloss level of paper products or printed images is important to meet end use specifications, the occurrence of gloss mottle, or non-uniformity of gloss, is often of greater concern for meeting quality requirements, especially for the high gloss paper. Gloss variation originates from the irregularities of paper surface, especially surface roughness of paper. Roughness of paper can be divided into micro-roughness (under $1\mu m$ scale in variation) and macro-roughness (over $1\mu m$ scale in variation) depending on the scale of the irregularities. A clearer understanding of the gloss variation of paper can be achieved by separating the contributions of these two scales of roughness, and characterizing them independently. In order to do this, a novel gloss measuring method was introduced. This can detect local gloss with very high resolution. The effect of macro-roughness on gloss variation, which was identified by the measurable surface topography, was separated from the total gloss variation by using this method. The effect of micro-roughness was then estimated indirectly. The local gloss variations of various paper samples were then evaluated to demonstrate the utility of this approach.

The surface gloss of the injection molded part is one of the most significant point for evaluation the quality of products appearance. The effects of molding condition on the gloss of HIPS(High Impact Poly Styrene) molded part were investigated in this work. The measurements of gloss on the surface of molded part were carried out with different melt temperature, mold temperature, injection pressure and holding pressure. We observed the result of HIPS gloss compared with our's previous ABS study. The more melt and mold temperature increased, the brighter the gloss increase. Holding and injection pressure had little effect on the gloss. The gloss was effected in order of melt temperature, mold temperature, injection pressure, holding pressure.

Composite resins, commonly used in clinical practice, have been developed to improve aesthetics to obtain smooth surfaces. Although the restored composite resin has a smooth surface, it gradually becomes rough over time. Therefore, this study measured glossiness to evaluate the surface of various composite resins and attempted to evaluate the maintenance of glossiness of composite resins by observing surfaces that change to roughness. Specimens were produced using resin used in clinical practice: Gradia direct anterior (GA), Tetric N-Ceram (TN), Ceram.X Sphere TEC one (CX), Filtek Z350XT (FT), Estelite sigma quick (ES). After creating a smooth surface with slide glass, five locations were randomly selected to measure surface gloss, and the average was the representative value of the specimen. Roughness was applied to the specimen under water pouring at the same speed and pressure using SiC paper #2400, 1200, and 400. The gloss unit of different SiC papers was measured. To evaluate the gloss unit and gloss retention between composite resins, one-way analysis of variance and Tukey multiple comparisons test were used. As a result of the study, there was a difference in gloss unit of specimens produced under the same conditions. Although the degree differed depending on the composite resin, there was also a difference in gloss retention. Based on the findings, composite resins show differences in gloss due to their different characteristics. Ceram.X Sphere TEC one (CX) showing the lowest gloss retention and Estelite sigma quick (ES) showing the highest.

Print gloss is an important attribute of the final printed product. While past work has looked at the influence of key aspects of the coating structure on print gloss, a systematic study has not been reported. The coating roughness, porosity, and pore size are changed by using various combinations of coating materials and by calendering against rough plastic sheets. The print gloss is measured every tenths of a second right after printing, a few minutes after printing, and a few days afterwards. Roughness and porosity affect the print gloss for the first two seconds: this result shows that they influence the ink-film splitting event. Once ink film starts to level, roughness and pore size influences the level of print gloss within the first ten seconds after printing. Porosity modifies the evolution of print gloss for the next few minutes. The decrease in gloss at long times is found to correlate to surface roughness.

It is well accepted that gloss variation deteriorates the print quality and there are various objective ways to measure this. Several studies now have shown that the coefficient of variation in the octave band passed printed gloss image has an excellent correlation with ratings by an expert panel using a magnitude estimation scaling method. The correlation improves when the gloss level is also taken into account beyond that of the COV. There is also evidence that the correlation would improve even more if the gloss spatial distribution could be better accounted for. We show that much (at least 80% and perhaps up to 90%) of the gloss distribution can be accounted for by the paper topography over a wide range of dimensions (scale). Recent work has supported the role that microroughness and multiple surface scattering play in the gloss distribution. This offers the promise of showing that even a greater amount of gloss variationcan be explained by topography.

The surface gloss of an injection molded part is one of the most significant point for evaluating the quality of products appearance. The effects of process condition on the gloss of ABS(Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene) molded part were investigated in this work. The measurements of gloss and morphology on the surface of molded part were carried out with different melt temperature, mold temperature, mold surface roughness, injection pressure and holding pressure. Gloss had a maximum value with melt temperature in the range of 210 to 220 ${^\circ}C$ and with mold temperature 40 to 50${^\circ}C$ and with injection pressure 80~90 MPa, respectively. Melt temperature was shown to have the largest effect on gloss in our work. Gloss was not improved in the region of melt temperature 240${^\circ}C$ above and of mold temperature 60${^\circ}C$ above. It was concluded that the variation of gloss was mainly caused by rubber particles migration under shear stress not by their aggregation or necklace.

In case of lipsticks, observer's subjective sensitivity has been the main index to estimate gloss and gloss-lasting capability. The glossmeter has been applied to measure the gloss of make-up cosmetics like nail enamel, however is not effective for lipstick because of uneven sampling. Also gloss-lasting capability couldn't have been measured. In this study, we optimized measurement methods of gloss and gloss-lasting capability of lipsticks, which are highly correlated to subjective sensory tests. We set up the standard methods of gloss measurement by changing application conditions, for example, materials, sizes and application number of times and so on. And we introduced optimizing measurement system, in which shaking speed and temperature were controlled to measure gloss-lasting capability. Applying our methods, the gloss values were very close to the results of sensory tests, and we could express the gloss and gloss-lasting capability of lipsticks numerically Repeatability and reproducibility of our methods were certified by six-sigma statistical tool.

Sign language has completely different meaning depending on the direction of the hand or the change of facial expression even with the same gesture. In this respect, it is crucial to capture the spatial-temporal structure information of each movement. However, sign language translation studies based on Sign2Gloss2Text only convey comprehensive spatial-temporal information about the entire sign language movement. Consequently, detailed information (facial expression, gestures, and etc.) of each movement that is important for sign language translation is not emphasized. Accordingly, in this paper, we propose Spatial-temporal Keypoints Centered Sign2Gloss2Text Translation, named STKC-Sign2 Gloss2Text, to supplement the sequential and semantic information of keypoints which are the core of recognizing and translating sign language. STKC-Sign2Gloss2Text consists of two steps, Spatial Keypoints Embedding, which extracts 121 major keypoints from each image, and Temporal Keypoints Embedding, which emphasizes sequential information using Bi-GRU for extracted keypoints of sign language. The proposed model outperformed all Bilingual Evaluation Understudy(BLEU) scores in Development(DEV) and Testing(TEST) than Sign2Gloss2Text as the baseline, and in particular, it proved the effectiveness of the proposed methodology by achieving 23.19, an improvement of 1.87 based on TEST BLEU-4.

Using optimized standard methods, which were previously done by sensory tests, many factors have been analyzed and their significance were determined according to gloss and gloss-lasting capability in lipstick. Analyzing some factors we could conclude that the effective factors were the kind of wax, amount of volatile silicone oil, and stick hardness in the aspect of lipstick's gloss. And in the point of lipstick's gloss-lasting properties, vital few X's were quantity of volatile silicone oil stick hardness, and polymer contents and so on. We successfully have tried new analytical approach, 6-sigma to general property of lipstick. Furthermore this study will be a base on the prescription design in gloss-enhanced products.

Gloss uniformity on unprinted coated papers is oftenly called as 'Surface Feeling' in market and roles as a very important criteria when a customer choose a paper. However, there is few researches on this quality so far and even there isn't much knowledge on the characteristics of gloss variation, ie what it is, where it comes from etc. Therefore, there should be a pre-research on its characteristics, factors, measuring method or tools prior to the following development activities. In this paper, we obtained about a dozen of papers including foreign products and measured not only basic properties of them, but also various characteristics related to ununiformity. Our experiments went further to printing, but that area is excluded in this paper. Also, we investigated several instruments for measuring gloss variation by an objective way all over the world and tested with our own samples so that we tried to find out which one is best-correlated with visual appreciation and suggest its results as possible. We found out several things from these experiments including what is difference between good and bad gloss uniformity, the factors of gloss variation, and the results of measurement for gloss variation with instruments.
