Illumination modeling panel

 

Parameters on this panel are considered in 3D image modeling only if the illumination modeling is switched on.

 

Using Speed <> Accuracy slider you can choose a compromise solution between accuracy of modeling light bounds and performance of illumination modeling.

 

Maintenance factor of illuminators

- allows for supply voltage and lamp parameters variation, lamp aging, luminaire dirt depreciation.

 

Suggested Maintenance factors, according to CIE 97:

 

0.8 - very clean environment, maintenance cycle 1 year;

0.67 - clean environment, maintenance cycle 3 years;

0.57 - normal environment pollution load, maintenance cycle 3 years;

0.5 - dirty environment, maintenance cycle 3 years;

 

If the supply voltage is not stable or below normal then it is necessary to decrease the Maintenance factor proportionally to possible voltage slump.

 

Maintenance factor of cameras

- allows for lens contamination, dirt, camera degradation and parameter variation in the lifetime.

 

Suggested Maintenance factors:

 

0.7 - very clean environment, maintenance cycle 1 year;

0.6 - clean environment, maintenance cycle 3 years;

0.5 - normal environment pollution load, maintenance cycle 3 years;

0.4 - dirty environment, maintenance cycle 3 years;
