Our living environments are always patterned or textured. 2.5D structures, from rough surface textures to more explicitly-designed patterns, are ubiquitous and are interwoven with 2D planar surfaces. These 2.5D textures assist human perception, enabling us to feel, understand, and discover additional environmental information.
Recognizing the importance of 2.5D structures,
