Abstract: Nowadays, sensory properties of materials are subject to growing attention both in an hedonic point of view and in an utilitarian one. Hence, the formulation of the foundations of an instrumental metrological approach that will allow for the characterization of visual similarities between textures belonging to the same type becomes a challenge of the research activities in the domain of perception. In this paper, our specific objective is to link an instrumental approach of metrology of the assessment of visual textures with a metrology approach based on a softcopy experiment performed by human judges. The experiment consisted in ranking of isochromatic colored textures according to the visual contrast. A fixed effects additive model is considered for the analysis of the rank data collected from the softcopy experiment. The model is fitted to the data using a least-squares criterion. The resulting data analysis gives rise to a sensory scale that shows a non-linear correlation and a monotonic functional relationship with the physical attribute on which the ranking experiment is based. Furthermore, the capacity of the judges to discriminate the textures according to the visual contrast varies according to the color ranges and the textures types.
