This research paper aims to simplify the question of how to take human movement into account when assessing the lighting conditions of a space. For a person working at a desk throughout the day doing paper-based or screen-based tasks, if it is assumed that ...
Visual comfort at workplaces has often been considered in terms of discomfort glare, luminance distribution and task visibility. Besides visual effects, the lighting environment has also impact on human physiology and behaviour. These effects of light are ...
High dynamic range imaging has been shown to be a reliable tool to assess luminance maps and glare risk probability in buildings. However, there are some limitations of image capturing time, especially when dealing with highly dynamic and contrasted daylig ...
Nowadays, light emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes (LDs) are part of our daily life. More and more devices incorporate InGaN-based optoelectronic devices. In fact, since the first demonstration of a candela-class InGaN-based LED in the beginning of th ...
Magic Mirror is a face swapping tool that replaces the user’s face with a selected famous person’s face in a database. The system consists of a user interface from which the user can select one of the celebrities listed. Upon selection, model fitting autom ...
This presentation will discuss how recent findings in photobiology about the correlation between lighting and the human circadian system can prospectively be applied to architectural design, with a focus on healthcare and housing environments. Outcomes of ...
The intent of this Design Guide is to introduce the topic of sustainability, present its elements, and explain how it affects the design of lighting in process and product. This document is structured into two major sections. Section 1.0 introduces sustain ...
The discovery of a novel type of photoreceptor that mediates non-visual light responses in humans has sparked a growing interest in the role of lighting design on human health and wellbeing. Researchers have identified intensity, spectrum, duration/pattern ...
The study uses a domestic dwelling as the setting to investigate and explore the applicability of daylighting metrics for residential buildings. The metrics address daylight provision for task and electric lighting usage. In addition to these it also inves ...
We analyze the relative relevance of Gabor amplitudes and phases for face recognition. We propose an algorithm to reliably estimate offset point disparities from phase differences and show that disparity corrected Gabor phase differences are well suited fo ...
