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
Finite measure Finite measure In measure theory, a branch of mathematics, a finite measure or totally finite measure is a special measure that always takes on finite values. Among finite measures are probability measures. The finite measures are often easier to handle than more general measures and show a variety of different properties depending on the sets they are defined on. A measure formula_1 on measurable space formula_2 is called a finite measure iff it satisfies By the monotonicity of measures, this implies If formula_1 is a finite measure, the measure space formula_6 is called a finite measure space or a totally
