C-A graphs can express three factors (luminance contrast, adaptation luminance, and object size) necessary for visibility estimations from luminance images. The objective of this study is to propose a visibility estimation method considering disability glare (impaired visibility caused by high luminance light sources in the visual field) using C-A graphs. Visibility evaluation experiments were conducted under various conditions with high luminance light sources presented in the visual field. In experiments, the changes of visibility threshold C values were examined. Estimations of visibility threshold C values were attempted by using the ‘equivalent veiling luminance’ of past studies. However, it was confirmed that the estimation method has limitations in its applicable range. Therefore, by focusing on increments of C values, a visibility estimation equation was established from the multiple regression analyses of increments of C values and the illuminance received from each of the segmented visual fields. In this study, the estimation equation was established from experimental results that used circular objects with a 20-minute diameter.","PeriodicalId":35437,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Illuminating Engineering Institute of Japan (Shomei Gakkai Shi)","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41564916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A spatial brightness index (SB), which has been previously proposed by the author, is applied for the evaluations in this study. The 90% range of annual variation in SB values, which is the difference between the 95th percentile value and the 5th percentile value, is useful for comparing the in fl uence of daylighting control on the spatial brightness variation. Also, evaluating the 50th percentile value of them results in a suitable target illuminance level for electric light control in each daylighting condition. These results indicate that the evaluation methods in this study are useful for designing daylighting or lighting control so that it will lead to a comfortable condition, which means not too bright and not too dark.","PeriodicalId":35437,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Illuminating Engineering Institute of Japan (Shomei Gakkai Shi)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44422038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study shows the effects of applying the target ignition method to a new structure for four target materials (tungsten, platinum, thoriated tungsten, and tungsten impregnated with barium oxide (BI)). Compared with previous experiments, our proposed conditions enable practical use of this high brightness light source with a one order of magnitude lower laser power. First, the proposed structure is different from a previous wire structures for the target method. Second, the ignition efficiency of each material was quantitatively evaluated according to heating time. Results showed that among the four materials, BI could be ignited with the lowest laser power (continuous wave: 35 W), and could best repeat ignition. This implies that the work function determines ignition efficiency. Finally, we clarify the ignition process. Barium atoms and ions from the target were experimentally observed under laser irradiation in the xenon gas region before ignition. Barium has a low work function as an electron emission material. Therefore, we hypothesized that the target surface emitted barium into the xenon gas region by laser heating. We expected that the barium would rapidly discharge many electrons owing to its low work function, the inverse bremsstrahlung absorption would instantaneously increase, and finally, it would ignite the xenon gas.","PeriodicalId":35437,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Illuminating Engineering Institute of Japan (Shomei Gakkai Shi)","volume":"205 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41270509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
