beyond its quantity, natural light has unique properties used intelligently in iranian historical architecture in order to transfer spiritual concepts. religious buildings are a good context for re-reading of light concept. due to its valuable place in iranian-islamic belief as well as its direct relationship with wisdom and philosophy, the qualitative presence of light in architecture, aimed a...

The purpose of this work was to perform the initial evaluation of primary diagnostic monitor (PDM) characteristics following the implementation of New York City quality assurance (NYC QA) regulations on January 1, 2016, and compare the results of the QA measurements performed by an external photometer and the PDM manufacturer's built-in photometer. TG-18 and Society of Motion Picture and Televi...

Combining series of exposures with different exposure times made with a digital SLR camera and a fish-eye lens allow to create highresolution images that contain the full dynamic range of daylight, including the Sun, usable as scene background and for skylight illumination computation purposes. These High Dynamic Range (HDR) images can also be calibrated with a luminance meter, so the image dat...

A method to characterize time sequential stereoscopic 3D displays which is based on the measurement of the temporal behavior of the system versus grey levels is presented. OPTISCOPE SA, especially designed for precise measurement of luminance and temporal behavior of LCD displays is used. The transmittance and response time of the shutter glasses is first evaluated. Then the grey to grey respon...

Using the notion of discrepancy, we developed a new technique for generating uniformly distributed dot patterns. We designed and prototyped a light guide having prismatic grooves and micro scatterers on the surface. We experimentally confirmed that the new pattern of the micro scatterers effectively prevents moiré patterns, and improves the luminance homogeneity.
