The light density, direction and diffuseness are important indicators of the spatial and form-giving character of light. Mury presented a method to describe, measure and visualise the light field’s structure in terms of light density and direction variations in three-dimensional ...
Humans are able to estimate light field properties in a scene in that they have expectations of the objects' appearance inside it. Previously, we probed such expectations in a real scene by asking whether a "probe object" fitted a real scene with regard to its lighting. But how w ...

Light diffuseness metric, Part 2

Describing, measuring and visualising the light flow and diffuseness in three dimensional spaces

We introduce a way to simultaneously measure the light density, light vector and diffuseness of the light field using a cubic illumination meter based on the spherical harmonics representation of the light field. This approach was applied to six light probe images of natural scen ...
Human observers can perceive intensity and direction differences of the illumination on objects and in scenes. They also have a sense for the light diffuseness. Reviewing studies into light diffuseness perception and practical lighting guidelines we encountered the problem that t ...
The lighting and furnishing of an interior space (i.e., the reflectance of its materials, the geometries of the furnishings, and their arrangement) determine the appearance of this space. Conversely, human observers infer lighting properties from the space's appearance. We conduc ...
Light is a kind of medium that makes objects visible without being visible itself in empty space. The combination of spatial and spectral characteristics of the light source, material reflectance and shape of an object determine its appearance, and as such the appearance of an ob ...
