However, the origin of the large discrepancies often observed between the design of lighting installations and their actual performance remains poorly explained. For the design stage, it is assumed that the road has homogeneous photometric characteristics. To examine the impact of pavement heterogeneity on these differences, numerous measurements of pavement reflection properties were carried out on an experimental site with a portable device. A homemade software was used to perform several road lighting calculations by integrating the measured r-tables in different ways. New metrics based on lighting performance criteria deviation and pavement reflection properties deviation are used to compare the calculations. The results highlight the importance of measuring the optical properties of pavements and confirm methodological guidelines for making representative on-site measurements.","PeriodicalId":363368,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Conference CIE 2021","volume":"363 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115968860","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}

The spectral characteristics of light are of particular relevance when studying ipRGC-influenced responses. This paper aims to assess the reliability of these tools in predicting indoor spectral irradiance specifically from electric lighting. Spectral irradiance was measured under three indoor electric lighting scenarios and compared against spectral irradiance simulated in ALFA and Lark. While the outcomes of the study tend to show that ALFA is both more accurate and faster, rather large errors were found for spectral irradiance (-28.6% to 33.4%). In comparison to a prior study focusing on daylighting, these results seem to indicate that spectral simulations of electrically lit scenes are generally less accurate than those of daylit scenes with these tools.","PeriodicalId":363368,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Conference CIE 2021","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122765679","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}

An equivalent electrical circuit model considering the cable impedance of a typical goniophotometer is established in this paper. The measurement errors caused by the cable impedance are analysed by simulation. In DC and low frequency circuits, the cable impedance is almost resistive, while the inductive impedance of cables is significant and may lead to considerable errors when frequency is above 1 kHz in the circuits. Cable solutions in goniophotometry are introduced and recommended.","PeriodicalId":363368,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Conference CIE 2021","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125617890","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}

In particular, the diffuseness of the illumination has a significant effect on the appearance of material and surface texture. We investigated a diffuseness condition suitable for reproducing surface appearance using computer graphics. First, observers memorized the appearance and impression of objects by viewing pre-observation images rendered using various environment maps. Then they evaluated the appearance of the objects in test images rendered under different levels of diffuseness. As a result, moderate diffuseness conditions received a higher evaluation than low diffuseness conditions. This means that low or very high diffuseness unfamiliar in daily life is unsuitable for reproducing a faithful and ideal surface appearance. However, a particular material is difficult to memorize and evaluate its appearance. The results suggest that it is possible to define a diffuseness that adequately reproduces the appearance of an object using computer graphics.","PeriodicalId":363368,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Conference CIE 2021","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121905409","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}

The current study was conducted to validate this by considering crimes recorded in three different US cities. This analysis confirmed the statistically significant increase in robbery after dark.

These strategies are often solely illuminance-based whereas comfort metrics as the Daylight Glare Probability (DGP) also need luminance values. In previous studies, daylight glare has been assessed by calculating the DGP from luminance maps obtained via a luminance camera or from a High Dynamic Range (HDR) image obtained with a commercially available camera. These detectors are traditionally mounted close to the user and aligned with the viewing direction. In real office environments, this camera position is impractical, and simulations based on machine learning techniques have shown a relation between the DGP from an observer's viewpoint and the DGP calculated from a ceiling camera. This paper experimentally validates this method in a real office environment by using two different cameras and two different illuminance sensors, i.e., a low-cost illuminance sensor and a calibrated sensor. Both cameras render similar results, although one camera overestimates the DGP. Moreover, the shortcomings of the simulation results are pinpointed and the obstacles for a realistic application are addressed. Furthermore, it was found that when moving the cameras to different positions, the sun position was shown to be an informative additional input for correlating the two DGP values. In future work, additional data will be analysed to determine the performance in other weather conditions and window orientations.","PeriodicalId":363368,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Conference CIE 2021","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128207403","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 visual experiment is conducted to assess the accuracy of image quality metrics in estimating the visual complexity, visual clarity, visual preference, and colourfulness of 50 images of indoor environments. Seven image quality assessment measures were used to estimate observers’ subjective evaluations. Results indicate that image colourfulness metric M correlates statistically significantly with visual preference and perception of colourfulness. Visual complexity correlated with five of the metrics.
