# Surface Brilliance Overview

> [!note] このページはまだ翻訳されておらず、英語で表示されています。


The Surface Brilliance module provides a complete, perception-based evaluation of glossy surfaces by combining gloss, visual gloss, haze, sharpness/DOI, waviness and RGB colour into a single measurement. It is designed to show how “brilliant” or mirror-like a surface appears to the human eye, going far beyond traditional gloss units.

### Purpose of this module

Quantify all key contributors to high-gloss appearance, including reflectivity, image sharpness, haze and orange peel/waviness on coated or polished surfaces.

Provide perception-aligned metrics that reduce disputes between suppliers and customers by matching measured values to what people actually see.

### Where this module can be used

High-gloss exterior and interior coatings in automotive, commercial vehicles, marine and rail applications.

Premium consumer goods, electronics, furniture, appliances, and other products where mirror-like finishes and brand-defining appearance are critical.

### What this module measures

Gloss and Visual Gloss: Conventional gloss values and perception-based gloss scales that better reflect how bright and glossy the surface appears.

Haze, Visual Haze, Sharpness/DOI and Waviness: Metrics for cloudiness, clarity of reflected images and orange peel, plus luminance and RGB colour for full surface characterisation.

### How to use this module

In Appearance Elements, select the Surface Brilliance module and choose the appropriate adapter (for example, standard flat panel, curved or small-area adaptor) for your part geometry.

Position the Aesthetix sensor on the surface (or at the defined non-contact distance), run a calibration as recommended, then take one or more measurements and save them to the chosen job, batch or template.

### How to interpret the results

Use gloss and Visual Gloss to compare overall brightness and reflectivity; higher values typically indicate a more brilliant, mirror-like finish.

Assess haze, Visual Haze, Sharpness/DOI and Waviness to understand whether defects such as cloudiness, orange peel or loss of image clarity are within acceptable tolerance bands for your product.
