12 Radiosity and Luminosity Definition: The radiosity (luminosity) is the energy per unit area leaving a surface. L( ωo) θ o B( x) = L( ω )cosθ dω o o o This is officially referred to as the radiant and luminous exitance. Uniform Diffuse Source B = Lcosθ dω = L = π L cosθ dω L = B π blondel = apostilb = nit = cd m skot = apostilb lamberts = cd cm 1 π / π π / ( 10 ) foot lamberts = cd ft glim = foot lambert 1 3 π / ( 10 ) Page 1
