Abstract
A novel high-dynamic range camera-based approach to measure the cumulative daylight dose in historic/conservation spaces has been devised and tested in a real-world setting under normal viewing conditions. The technique derives illuminance from the high-dynamic range-acquired luminance at numerous patches of the wall surfaces visible in the high-dynamic range image. These patches serve as proxy illuminance meters, thereby allowing the prevailing illumination field across the entire visible wall to be derived using a Kriging algorithm. The technique was validated under both controlled and in-situ conditions over periods of several months and shown to have comparable accuracy to the illuminance logging devices commonly used in historic/conservation settings. The set-up comprising a consumer digital camera and tethered computer proved remarkably resilient and allowed for continuous monitoring periods of six months or more. Application in a real-world setting revealed operational practicalities that would not have been found in a controlled environment.
