Abstract

Measuring the luminous environment enables researchers and practitioners to study perception and visual comfort in existing environments in order to decipher the components that contribute to good or problematic lighting characteristics. High dynamic range photography is commonly used to study visual perception and comfort. This paper presents new findings and specific methods of capturing interior scenes that may include peaks caused by a direct view of the sun and specular reflections. Methods are tested to improve the range of luminance values that can be captured, and new guidelines are proposed to improve the accuracy of computed visual comfort indices. Keywords: daylighting, high dynamic range imagery, visual comfort, glare, luminous overflow.
