Abstract
Tactile roughness perception of fine-texture has been investigated by using non-uniform surface materials (e.g., polishing papers), and therefore it was difficult to quantitatively discuss the relationship between physical surface property and perceived roughness. To solve this issue, we made a surface plate that has close-packed structure with micro-particles of single size (uniform surface), and a surface plate that has pseudo-close-packed structure with micro-particles of two sizes (mixed surface). In this paper, we estimated subjective equality of perceived roughness of the mixed surfaces in relative to the uniform surfaces, and compared the physical properties of the mixed and uniform surfaces that had perceptually equal roughness. We found that perceived roughness cannot be explained only by the physical distance between the micro-particles.
