Light Environment Model for Testing Small-Sized Objects by Luminance Method

This paper addresses issues related to the measurement method and the structure of the design of a universal measurement environment using a luminance meter. Work with instructions for preparing a luminance measurement station in any office space and the theory of its use. The analysis of the source resources showed that there is no comprehensive presentation of information on the conditions for carrying out measurements of the luminance distribution on the surface of small-sized objects and dedicated hardware and software for these measurements. Hence, the aim of the work was to review the conditions that shape the accuracy of measurements of the surface luminance distribution on small-sized objects. It has been shown that the key element of the measuring station, which is the matrix image recording head, allows for the recording of high-resolution images without the need to convert them. As a result, no additional identification errors of the luminance distribution on the tested surface are generated. This is part of a theoretical and practical approach to making measurements of small objects using the luminance method.
