Detailed Description

The aim is to get on the screen something which is perceptualy accurate, ie. to compress high dynamic range luminance to CRT display range. The class perform mainly a fast implementation of the algorithm from the paper [1], with more accurate values from [2]. The blue shift formula is taken from [3] and combined with the Scotopic vision formula from [4].

Important : you may call setDisplayAdaptationLuminance() and setWorldAdaptationLuminance() before any call to xyYToRGB() or adaptLuminance otherwise the default values will be used. (they are appropriate for a daylight sky luminance)

float StelToneReproducer::adaptLuminance ( float  worldLuminance ) const

inline

Parameters

worldLuminance

the world luminance to convert in cd/m^2

Returns

the converted display luminance in cd/m^2

float StelToneReproducer::adaptLuminanceScaled ( float  worldLuminance ) const

inline

Parameters

worldLuminance

the world luminance to convert in cd/m^2

Returns

the converted display luminance with 1 corresponding to full display white. The value can be more than 1 when saturated.

float StelToneReproducer::adaptLuminanceScaledLn ( float  lnWorldLuminance, float  pFact = 0.5f  ) const

inline

Parameters

lnWorldLuminance	the world luminance to convert in ln(cd/m^2)
pFact	the power at which the result should be set. The default is 0.5 and therefore return the square root of the adapted luminance

Returns
