I notice the almost all the published literature use the following equation
to show the three phase daylight coefficient method.
i = VTDs
where:
i = result vector (luminances, *illuminance*s, image, etc.)
V = view matrix, relating outgoing directions on window to desired results
at interior
T = transmission matrix, relating incident window directions to exiting
directions (BSD
D = daylight matrix, relating sky patches to incident directions on window
s = sky vector, assigning* luminance* values to patches representing sky
directions.
I am curious that if "i" means "illuminance", is that i = Pi*VTDs?
Good question. The "i" does derive from "illuminance," but can be used for luminance values or pretty much anything derived from a lighting calculation, including something like "sensor voltage" for an lighting control system. The "V" matrix includes the factor of pi (if necessary) and all other factors in the calculation of "i". Thus, the equation need not change depending on the values you choose to compute.
I hope that's clear enough.
