An Experimental Study on the Luminance Perception of Lighting Environment

Abstract:

Considering the characteristics of vision in the low luminance and weak contrast environment, this research obtains a series of simulant scenes. By means of experiment observation, quantification analysis and subjective evaluation, this research proposes a kind of scientific and controllable methods and modes, then relates the quantitative index and the qualitative description in order to take physics and psychological factor into the comprehensive consideration in lighting environment. Finally, it obtains the scope of luminance stimulus and the quantification relations. The results of this research can provide theoretical basis, model and quantitative suggests for corresponding standards. It has significance to urban lighting planning, design and management.
