When appearing on light bulb packages, brightness means luminous flux, while in other contexts it means luminance. [5] Luminous flux is the total amount of light coming from a source, such as a lighting device. Luminance, the original meaning of brightness, is the amount of light per solid angle coming from an area, such as the sky.
Using the controls for gamma, contrast and brightness, the gamma correction on an LCD can only be done for one specific vertical viewing angle, which implies one specific horizontal line on the monitor, at one specific brightness and contrast level. An ICC profile allows one to adjust the monitor for several brightness levels. The quality (and ...
A screen in F.lux's "darkroom mode" On installation, the user can choose a location based on geographic coordinates, a ZIP code, or the name of a location.The program then automatically calibrates the device display's color temperature to account for time of day, based on sunrise and sunset at the chosen location.
When n = 1 / 5 , cz = 1, representing the assumption that most scenes have an average relative luminance of 1 / 5 compared to bright white, and that therefore a sample in such a surround should be perceived at its proper lightness. The quantity A models the achromatic cone response; it is colour dependent but for a grey sample ...
(The S 10 unit is defined as the surface brightness of a star whose V-magnitude is 10 and whose light is smeared over one square degree, or 27.78 mag arcsec −2.) The total sky brightness in zenith is therefore ~220 S 10 or 21.9 mag/arcsec² in the V-band. Note that the contributions from Airglow and Zodiacal light vary with the time of year ...
The CIE distributes standard tables with luminosity function values at 5 nm intervals from 380 nm to 780 nm. [ cie 1 ] The standard luminous efficiency function is normalized to a peak value of unity at 555 nm (see luminous coefficient ).
[5] Saturation is the "colorfulness of an area judged in proportion to its brightness", [6] [2] which in effect is the perceived freedom from whitishness of the light coming from the area. An object with a given spectral reflectance exhibits approximately constant saturation for all levels of illumination, unless the brightness is very high. [7]
An aircraft landing at Zurich Airport, with runway edge lights visible. Runway edge lighting is used to outline the edges of runways during periods of darkness or restricted visibility conditions.
