Abstract

The image photometer measures the photometric characteristics of part or all of a scene stored as photometrically valid image data obtained from a calibrated electronic camera. The technology can offer significant advantages over other photometric methods for measuring visual displays. We review the characteristics of the components of the image photometer and its calibration and discuss how they affect the validity and reliability of its measurements. We also discus how specific design features affect the robustness and ease of use of the display measurement process. The costs and benefits of image photometry are compared to the current alternative photometric measurement technologies.
