Description

This Good Practice Guide (GPG) describes the key aspects in high dynamic range (HDR) imaging for
the assessment of glare in scenes using dedicated systems capable of documenting scenes
presenting high contrast of luminance. The guide has been developed during the project EPM
21NRM01 HiDyn using the experience gathered after evaluating lab and field intercomparison
campaigns. It describes the typical workflow for ILMD settings to be considered, acquisition of the
image sequence, HDR merging, and analysis of the glare scenes.
This GPG aims to help the relevant stakeholder to better understand the challenges of HDR luminance
imaging and to improve their measurement methods.
This GPG refers only to the metrological task of luminance measurement in high contrast scenes and
does not include any discussion and methods for the photography of artistic implementation of HDR
algorithms.
