Purpose:
To provide researchers, PhD students, educators and
design practitioners with an opportunity to present their work
with the Radiance lighting simulation software and associated
high dynamic range imaging technologies, and to share ideas and
solutions with other attendees.
Topics:
Lighting simulation; High dynamic range capture; High
dynamic range display; Climate-based modelling; Validation;
Case studies; Real-time rendering; New Daylight Metrics
Background:
The Radiance lighting simulation system was
developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and
is freely available for both research and commercial use.
Radiance is used by researchers, practitioners and educators to
investigate and solve a wide range of traditional and novel
illumination problems. It is used by architects and engineers
to predict illumination, visual quality and appearance of
standard and innovative design spaces, and by researchers to
evaluate new lighting and daylighting technologies. Radiance
has been rigorously validated — more so than any other
prediction method — and proven to be capable of high accuracy.
It is a de facto standard for both practitioners and
researchers. Closely related to Radiance is the theory and
practice of high dynamic range (HDR) imaging — both capture and
display.
