CIE 078-1988

This work is a result of a renewed activity of the CIE in the field of brightness as defined as the psychological attribute. The Commission started its duties with the compilation of a classified bibliography the results of which may be found in this publication.

The bibliography consists of two parts:

* An alphabetical part listing all first authors for quick reference
* A classified part.

The following items are covered in the classified part of the bibliography:



1. Methodology brightness (contrast) measurement
* brightness and contrast scaling
* brightness and contrast matching
* indirect brightness and contrast determination

2. Brightness (contrast)-luminance relations for static stimuli
* for relatively simple configurations
* for complex scenes (luminance reproduction curve)

3. Brightness (contrast)-luminance relations for dynamic stimuli
* for time dependent stimuli
* followed in the time domain

4. Lightness-tone relations
* for relatively simple stimuli
* for complex scenes (ambient lighting, wavelength, surround luminance)

5. Brightness (contrast) and spatial aspects
* contour effects
* surround
* retinal location
* sharpness/frequency
* luminance gradient

6. Brightness (contrast) of a point source
* effects of intensity
* background luminance

7. Brightness (contrast) and state of adaptation; after images
* background luminance
* preadaptation
* duration

8. Brightness (contrast) models
* scaling models
* effects of spatial parameters
* dynamic models

9. Various
* binocular brightness, interocular effects
* colour, Helmholz, Kohlrausch, Troxler's effect
* special apparatus

This publication contains 173 pages.

This Classified Bibliography on Brightness-Luminance Relations has been compiled by J.A.J. Roufs (The Netherlands) and R.M. Smith (USA).
