Abstract
A method for characterizing surfaces wherein a first and a second quantity characteristic of roughness of the surface are determined, a first derived quantity is determined by applying mathematical operations to at least said first characteristic quantity and a second derived quantity is determined by applying mathematical operations to at least said second characteristic quantity; wherein an interrelationship between the first and the second derived quantity will be formed which at least partially specifies at least the optical properties of the surface. Finally, the first and the second derived quantities are represented in a common reference frame.
