Photometrica Software – Measurement
Live Preview and Image Capture
Photometrica offers a complete set of controls for both the live preview and capture of measurements. Align and focus the instrument via the Preview function’s live video stream, while the Capture Editor manages the key measurement parameters such as exposure time.
Luminance
All WP imaging photometers and colorimeters measure luminance (Y) at high spatial resolution. Other photometric quantities that can be derived from luminance (cd/m2 or fL) include luminous intensity (cd) and partial luminous flux (lm).
Color
View chromaticity measurements in color space diagrams such as (x, y), (u’, v’), and various plots within Photometrica Software.
- color coordinates (x, y), (u’, v’)
- tristimulus values (X, Y, Z)
- dominant wavelength
- purity
- correlated color temperature (CCT)
WP imaging colorimeters come standard with four special filters to match the tristimulus functions: two for X (Xblue and Xred) and one for each of Y and Z.
Additional Filter Support
Photometrica supports other filters installed in photometers and colorimeters for various applications. Filter types include: scotopic, radiometric, bandpass, shortpass or longpass, ipRGC, S cone, M cone, and L cone.
Computed Measurements
Available computed quantities include:
- Illuminance
- Luminous Intensity
- Luminous Flux
- Radiance
- Spectral Radiance
- Irradiance
- Radiant Intensity
- Radiant Flux
- CIE Chromaticity Coordinates (xy and u’v’)
- Correlated Color Temperature (CCT)
- Dominant Wavelength
- Purity
- ΔE*ab
- Contrast
- Gamma and gamma inversion
- Custom computations can be generated to compute user-specified measurement components on a pixel-wise basis
Spectral Measurements
The WP512, WP6ES, WP525 and MCIC-S imaging spectral colorimeters have an integrated spot spectroradiometer providing automatic color correction, and markedly improving accuracy. Benefit from fast spectral preview, spectral radiance graphing, tabulated measurement results from the spectra, and more.
