Luminance while imaging luminance meters measure luminance in a way similar to the way a digital camera records color images. Luminance Luminance is a photometric measure of the luminous intensity per unit area of light travelling in a given direction. It describes the amount of light that passes through, is emitted or reflected from a particular area, and falls within a given solid angle. The SI unit for luminance is candela per square metre (cd/m). A non-SI term for the same unit is the nit. The CGS unit of luminance is the stilb, which is equal to one candela per square
Discrete measure Discrete measure In mathematics, more precisely in measure theory, a measure on the real line is called a discrete measure (in respect to the Lebesgue measure) if it is concentrated on an at most countable set. Note that the support need not be a discrete set. Geometrically, a discrete measure (on the real line, with respect to Lebesgue measure) is a collection of point masses. A measure formula_1 defined on the Lebesgue measurable sets of the real line with values in formula_2 is said to be discrete if there exists a (possibly finite) sequence of numbers such that The simplest
