Conference Room Images README

The meas data set contains the CapCalc measurements of the conference room under different lighting conditions as indicated by the file names. (See listing below.) The simu data set contains the Radiance simulations of these same configurations. The radims data set contains the original Radiance color pictures.

All of the files in the meas and simu data sets end in .bin and are in binary, 512x360 4-byte/pixel IEEE floating point format. Each floating point value represents the luminance at that pixel in cd/m^2. All of the files in the radims data set end in .pic and are in uncompressed Radiance RGBE (red,green,blue,exponent) picture format. They can be displayed with the Radiance "ximage" program. (See the URL "http://radsite.lbl.gov/radiance/HOME.html" for details on how to obtain this free package.) They may also be converted to and from the binary IEEE floating point format as follows:

	% pvalue -h -H -b -df -o +e .0055866 image.pic > image.bin
	% pvalue -r -h -b -df -y 360 +x 512 +e 179 image.bin > image.pic
There are 36 files in each data set, 3 views of each of 12 different lighting configurations. The RADIANCE perspective view parameters for each view are:

Left:	-vp 1.822 .153 1.187 -vd -.317 .948 .019 -vh 35 -vv 25 -vl -.033
Middle:	-vp 1.822 .153 1.187 -vd -.017 .999 .051 -vh 35 -vv 25 -vl -.033
Right:	-vp 1.822 .153 1.187 -vd .244 .970 .020 -vh 35 -vv 25 -vl -.033
Where -vp x y z indicates the view origin, -vd dx dy dz indicates the view direction vector, -vh hang and -vv vang indicate the horizontal and vertical view angles (full angles in degrees) and -vl vdist indicates the vertical shift in the image perspective (sliding the image downward from the center of the view pyramid a distance of .033 times the image height).

The images are named as follows:
