  2. Luminous efficiency function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_efficiency_function

    The CIE 1924 photopic V(λ) luminosity function, [cie 3] which is included in the CIE 1931 color-matching functions as the y (λ) function, has long been acknowledged to underestimate the contribution of the blue end of the spectrum to perceived luminance. There have been numerous attempts to improve the standard function, to make it more ...

  3. Photopic vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photopic_vision

    Photopic vision is the vision of the eye under well-lit conditions (luminance levels from 10 to 10 8 cd/m 2). In humans and many other animals, photopic vision allows color perception , mediated by cone cells , and a significantly higher visual acuity and temporal resolution than available with scotopic vision .

  4. Luminous efficiency function - en.wikipedia.org

    en.wikipedia.org/.../mobile-html/Luminosity_function

    For low light levels, the response of the human eye changes, and the scotopic curve applies. The photopic curve is the CIE standard curve used in the CIE 1931 color space. The luminous flux (or visible power) in a light source is defined by the photopic luminosity function. The following equation calculates the total luminous flux in a source ...

  5. Photometry (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photometry_(optics)

    The eye has different responses as a function of wavelength when it is adapted to light conditions (photopic vision) and dark conditions (scotopic vision). Photometry is typically based on the eye's photopic response, and so photometric measurements may not accurately indicate the perceived brightness of sources in dim lighting conditions where ...

  6. Luminous intensity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_intensity

    In photometry, luminous intensity is a measure of the wavelength-weighted power emitted by a light source in a particular direction per unit solid angle, based on the luminosity function, a standardized model of the sensitivity of the human eye. The SI unit of luminous intensity is the candela (cd), an SI base unit.

  7. Standard illuminant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_illuminant

    The same discrepancy applies to all illuminants in the D series—D 50, D 55, D 65, D 75 —and can be "rectified" by multiplying the nominal color temperature by ; for example … = for D 65. To determine the D-series SPD (S D ) that corresponds to those coordinates, the coefficients M 1 and M 2 of the characteristic vectors S 1 and S 2 are ...

  8. CIE 1931 color space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIE_1931_color_space

    A comparison between a typical normalized M cone's spectral sensitivity and the CIE 1931 luminosity function for a standard observer in photopic vision. In the CIE 1931 model, Y is the luminance, Z is quasi-equal to blue (of CIE RGB), and X is a mix of the three CIE RGB curves chosen to be nonnegative (see § Definition of the CIE XYZ color space).

  9. Scotopic vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotopic_vision

    The scotopic luminosity function is a standard function established by the Commission Internationale de l'Éclairage (CIE) and standardized in collaboration with the ISO. [ 11 ] The maximum scotopic efficacy is 1700 lm/W at 507 nm (compared with 683 lm/W at 555 nm for maximum photopic efficacy). [ 12 ]
