Formed: Beijing, 2007
Terms of Reference:
1. To establish a network of those interested in the measurement of visual
appearance.
2. The network shall be under the direction and guidance of a group of at least four
Technical Leaders each responsible for a particular aspect of the subject.
3. Each Technical Leader shall provide substantial periodic reports in a form that
might be published.
4. A second Expert Symposium on Appearance shall be organised at an appropriate
time within the next 4 years.
5. A database of relevant published work shall be maintained.

Report
MApNet is active, currently with 73 members. The work of the Technical Committee is
divided into eight areas:
1. Physical Aspects of Appearance
2. Non-Imaging Appearance Metrology
3. Imaging Appearance Metrology
4. Gloss
5. Colour
6. Translucency
7. Texture
8. Total Appearance
Achievements
Each group except the last has a Technical Leader several of whom have submitted
reports summarising relevant activities during 2008. The total report was too long to
include in Division 1 Activity Report which was published in February 2009: it can
however be obtained from the TC Chair, Mike Pointer, at mrpointer@btinternet.com.
