Over the last decade, a series of experiments sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy showed that rods play a role in vision in lighting conditions typical of the workplace. The tests took place in realistic environments with typical interior lighting and task conditions. The tests showed that both vision and lighting energy efficiency would be improved if lighting practice accounted for the...

In recent years, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology has been introduced into the mining industry to conduct terrain surveying. This work investigates the application of UAVs with artificial lighting for measurement of rock fragmentation under poor lighting conditions, representing night shifts in surface mines or working conditions in underground mines. The study relies on indoor and outd...

We present a system for painting how the appearance of an object changes under different lighting and viewing conditions. The user paints what the object should look like under different lighting conditions (dark, partially dark, fully lit, etc.) and (optionally) different viewing angles. The system renders the object under new lighting conditions and a new viewing angle by combining these pain...

All images are highly ambiguous, and to perceive 3-D scenes, the human visual system relies on assumptions about what lighting conditions are most probable. Here we show that human observers' assumptions about lighting diffuseness are well matched to the diffuseness of lighting in real-world scenes. We use a novel multidirectional photometer to measure lighting in hundreds of environments, and ...

Augmented Reality (AR) uses a combination of hardware and software to enhance a person's vision of the world with useful information about his/her surroundings. In recent years, there have been many different implementations of Augmented Reality. The vast majority of these implementations have assumed that lighting conditions are static, usually in an indoor or outdoor environment. Unfortunatel...
