Abstract:

This paper describes a mathematical model of the emitting-surface–camera system. A technique has been developed for calibrating optical-converter arrays and cameras based on them. Software has been created for calculating the illuminance and luminance of a surface over the resulting image. The luminance and illuminance distribution over a luminous surface have been measured and compared with the standard parameters.
