colour_hdri.illuminance_to_exposure_value#
- colour_hdri.illuminance_to_exposure_value(E: ArrayLike, S: ArrayLike, c: ArrayLike = 250) NDArrayFloat [source]#
Compute the exposure value \(EV\) from given scene illuminance \(E\) in \(Lux\), ISO arithmetic speed \(S\) and incident light calibration constant \(c\).
- Parameters:
E (ArrayLike) – Scene illuminance \(E\) in \(Lux\).
S (ArrayLike) – ISO arithmetic speed \(S\).
c (ArrayLike) – Incident light calibration constant \(c\). With a flat receptor, ISO 2720:1974 recommends a range for \(c\). of 240 to 400 with illuminance in \(Lux\); a value of 250 is commonly used. With a hemispherical receptor, ISO 2720:1974 recommends a range for \(c\) of 320 to 540 with illuminance in \(Lux\); in practice, values typically are between 320 (Minolta) and 340 (Sekonic).
- Returns:
Exposure value \(EV\).
- Return type:
Notes
The exposure value \(EV\) indicates a combination of camera settings rather than the focal plane exposure, i.e., luminous exposure, photometric exposure, \(H\). The focal plane exposure is time-integrated illuminance.
