Presented Papers • Papers presented at the conference include: – Luminance contrast measurement of FPDs under daylight ambient condition; – Correction of stray light in CCD-based spectroradiometers and imaging devices; – Measurement of “naturalness”.

Technical Committee Meetings

TC 2 -40 • Standard for Characterizing the Performance of Illuminance Meters and Luminance Meters • New standard to give clear and unambiguous definitions for individual quality indices • Discussion surrounding characterisation of: – V ( ) mis-match index f 1’. • A new definition is likely to include uncertainty. – Directional response index f 2. • Discussion regarding to measure out to 80° or 85° • The new definition will likely average the cosine response over four half-planes

TC 2 -49 • Photometry of Flashing Lights • New technical report for photometric measurements of flashing light, including measurement of light sources, and calibration of photometers for flashing light. • New definition for derivation of “effective intensity” to replace the old B-R-D, Allard and Schmidt-Clausen.

TC 2 -51 • Calibration, Characterization and Use of Array Spectroradiometers • Mainly for spectroradiometers that use CCDarrays for real-time spectral measurement • Looking at properties of these devices, how to characterise and calibrate, and also sources of uncertainty • Subsequent meeting with TC chair in Melbourne

TC 2 -59 • Characterisation of Imaging Luminance Measurement Devices (ILMDS) • Mainly for the devices that use CCD cameras to perform luminance measurements • Looking at properties how to characterise and calibrate, etc. – Scattered light, Linearity, Spectral Response, Uniformity, etc. – Binning, Blooming, Smear

TC 2 -47 • Characterisation and Calibration Methods of UV Radiometers • Currently no uniform method of calibration that produces universally consistent results, ie: lamp and detector-dependant. • New guide will recommend methods for characterisation of UVA, UVB and UVC radiometers with quality indices similar to luxmeters.
