The complexity of visual material appearance as observed in the huge variation in material appearance under different viewing and illumination conditions makes material recognition a highly challenging task. In the scope of this paper, we discuss the facts that make material appearance that complex and provide a survey on technical achievements towards a reliable material recognition that have been presented in the literature so far. In addition, we discuss still open challenges that might be in the focus of future research.
