  2. Photometry (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    Photometry is a branch of optics that deals with measuring light in terms of its perceived brightness to the human eye. [1] It is concerned with quantifying the amount of light that is emitted, transmitted, or received by an object or a system.

  3. HSL and HSV - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSL_and_HSV

    Fig. 1. HSL (a–d) and HSV (e–h). Above (a, e): cut-away 3D models of each. Below: two-dimensional plots showing two of a model's three parameters at once, holding the other constant: cylindrical shells (b, f) of constant saturation, in this case the outside surface of each cylinder; horizontal cross-sections (c, g) of constant HSL lightness or HSV value, in this case the slices halfway ...

  4. Viewing angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viewing_angle

    The image may seem garbled, poorly saturated, of poor contrast, blurry, or too faint outside the stated viewing angle range, the exact mode of "failure" depends on the display type in question. For example, some projection screens reflect more light perpendicular to the screen and less light to the sides, making the screen appear much darker ...

  5. Histogram equalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histogram_equalization

    If we define a new palette as P'=P(M) and leave image I unchanged then histogram equalization is implemented as palette change or mapping change. On the other hand, if palette P remains unchanged and image is modified to I'=M(I) then the implementation is accomplished by image change. In most cases palette change is better as it preserves the ...

  6. Brightness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brightness

    As defined by the US Federal Glossary of Telecommunication Terms , "brightness" should now be used only for non-quantitative references to physiological sensations and perceptions of light. [3] Brightness is an antonym of "dimness" or "dullness". With regard to stars, brightness is quantified as apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude.

  7. Gloss (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    The change in specular reflection as the specular angle changes For his research he used a glossmeter with a specular angle of 45° as did most of the first photoelectric methods of that type, later studies however by Hunter and D. B. Judd in 1939, [ 5 ] on a larger number of painted samples, concluded that the 60 degree geometry was the best ...

  8. Helmholtz–Kohlrausch effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmholtz–Kohlrausch_effect

    The difference between brightness and lightness is that the brightness is the intensity of the object independent of the light source. Lightness is the brightness of the object in respect to the light reflecting on it. This is important because the Helmholtz–Kohlrausch effect is a measure of the ratio between the two. [3]

  9. Brightness temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brightness_temperature

    Brightness temperature or radiance temperature is a measure of the intensity of electromagnetic energy coming from a source. [1] In particular, it is the temperature at which a black body would have to be in order to duplicate the observed intensity of a grey body object at a frequency ν {\displaystyle \nu } . [ 2 ]
