white efficacy in radiance
by dolphin_24 » Thu, 17 Mar 2005 09:24:10 GMT
Hi,
i'm trying to implement the tone mapping algorithm used in radiance.
looking at the source code of radiance (color.h), it calculates the
luminance as:
Luminance(col) = WHITEEFFICACY * bright(col);
where bright(col) is the y chromacicity component and WHITEEFFICACY =
179.0;
i'm trying to figure out where that value comes from, i would expect it
to be 683.0 wich is the maximum efficacy (reached for 555nm
wavelenghts).
does anybody have any idea how this value (179) was calculated?
thanks.

1.Convert Black&White to Red&White?
After I have converted a photo to line art (Black and White 1-bit
depth), can I convert it to full color but where all the black pixels
get turned into a color of my choice, like pure red? or blue? or
yellow?
I would want all the white pixels to stay white, of course. If there
is a way, could someone show me which tabs and options it would be
under? littleberry

4.Precomputed Radiance Transfer Cube Map Projection
Hi, I'm studying the Precomputed Radiance Transfer method that is in the
directx sdk.
My question is about D3DXSHProjectCubeMap
How does it work. Does it perform a monte carlo integration of the texture?
5.does radiance change with refraction for directional lights?
Usually when light refracts into a medium with a higher index of
refraction the radiance measure for the light increases (as shown on
page 143 of Veach's thesis). However, if the angular distribution of
light is a delta function, as is the case for a directional light, is
this still true? Veach derives the increase in radiance by
differentiating Snell's law and looking at the respective differential
solid angles for the incoming and outgoing ray, but is that valid for
a directional light? Or perhaps, have I posed a faulty question by
mixing the radiance measurement and a directional light source?
Here's a small thought experiment. Say you have a disk that provides
a perfectly directed thick beam of light with some amount of power.
Also suppose that you have a pool of water with a a perfectly flat
specular surface and a perfectly flat diffuse bottom.
Is it possible to describe the light coming from the disk using the
radiance measurement?
Assuming the disk is above the water facing directly down, how does
the radiance change as it enters the water, hits the pool, and exits
the water?
Assuming the disk is UNDERNEATH the water facing directly down, how
does the radiance change as it hits the pool, and exits the water?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
