This work is a result of a renewed activity of the CIE in the field of brightness as defined as the psychological attribute. The Commission started its duties with the compilation of a classified bibliography the results of which may be found in this publication.
The bibliography consists of two parts:
- An alphabetical part listing all first authors for quick reference
- A classified part.
The following items are covered in the classified part of the bibliography:
1. Methodology brightness (contrast) measurement
- brightness and contrast scaling
- brightness and contrast matching
- indirect brightness and contrast determination
2. Brightness (contrast)-luminance relations for static stimuli
- for relatively simple configurations
- for complex scenes (luminance reproduction curve)
3. Brightness (contrast)-luminance relations for dynamic stimuli
- for time dependent stimuli
- followed in the time domain
4. Lightness-tone relations
- for relatively simple stimuli
- for complex scenes (ambient lighting, wavelength, surround luminance)
5. Brightness (contrast) and spatial aspects
- contour effects
- surround
- retinal location
- sharpness/frequency
- luminance gradient
6. Brightness (contrast) of a point source
- effects of intensity
- background luminance
7. Brightness (contrast) and state of adaptation; after images
- background luminance
- preadaptation
- duration
8. Brightness (contrast) models
- scaling models
- effects of spatial parameters
- dynamic models
9. Various
- binocular brightness, interocular effects
- colour, Helmholz, Kohlrausch, Troxler's effect
- special apparatus
This publication contains 173 pages.
This Classified Bibliography on Brightness-Luminance Relations has been compiled by J.A.J. Roufs (The Netherlands) and R.M. Smith (USA).
