Evaluation and validation of the calculation of illuminance in evalglare

2017

Abstract

This report summarizes the evaluation of the calculation of illuminance in evalglare to prove the embedded algorithm. Evalglare-calculated illuminance values were compared with analytically-determined values as well as with values calculated from images by an alternative method that was provided by the author of RADIANCE. Only marginal differences between the two methods and analytical derived values were found. From the results, it can be concluded that the illuminance calculation in evalglare is reliable and delivers correct values.

Lux

The lux (symbol: lx) is the unit of illuminance, or luminous flux per unit area, in the International System of Units (SI). It is equal to one lumen per square metre. In photometry, this is used as a measure of the intensity, as perceived by the human eye, of light that hits or passes through a surface. It is analogous to the radiometric unit watt per square metre, but with the power at each wavelength weighted according to the luminosity function, a model of human visual brightness perception, standardized by the CIE and ISO.

Illuminance

In photometry, illuminance is the total luminous flux incident on a surface, per unit area. It is a measure of how much the incident light illuminates the surface, wavelength-weighted by the luminosity function to correlate with human brightness perception. Similarly, luminous emittance is the luminous flux per unit area emitted from a surface. Luminous emittance is also known as luminous exitance. In SI units illuminance is measured in lux (lx), or equivalently in lumens per square metre (lm·m−2).

Radiance

In radiometry, radiance is the radiant flux emitted, reflected, transmitted or received by a given surface, per unit solid angle per unit projected area. Radiance is used to characterize diffuse emission and reflection of electromagnetic radiation, and to quantify emission of neutrinos and other particles. The SI unit of radiance is the watt per steradian per square metre (). It is a directional quantity: the radiance of a surface depends on the direction from which it is being observed.
