Venue: Yuanzheng Qizhen Hotel
Organizers: International Commission on Illumination (CIE) and China Illuminating Engineering Society (CIES)
Host: Colour Institute, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou
Registration & Fees

Introduction

These CIE Lectures are intended to provide the most up-to-date knowledge in the field of colour and vision science as well as illuminating engineering. This particular course is divided into three sessions:

  1. CIE Colorimetry
  2. Metrology and Applications for SSL and LED Lighting and
  3. Standards Development for SSL and LED Lighting

The first session will cover the fundamentals of colour science and recent developments in CIE Division 1 (Vision and Colour) whereas the other two will include metrology, applications, and standards for SSL and LED lighting. The lectures will be given by the world leading experts: Ming Ronnier Luo, Yoshi Ohno and Janos Schanda.

Lecturer: Dr. Ming Ronnier Luo

 
CIE colour specification system
CIE Standard Colorimetric Observer, CIE illuminants, CIE Illuminating/Viewing geometry, CIE XYZ system, CIE chromaticity diagram. [CIE 15: Colorimetry; ISO 1164-1 to 3 /CIE S 014-1 to 3 Joint ISO/CIE Standards: Colorimetry Series]
 
Uniform colour space and colour difference equations
CIELUV, CIELAB, CIEDE2000 [ISO 1164-4 to 6 /CIE S 014-4 to 6 Joint ISO/CIE Standards: Colormetry Series]. CIEUVW, CIE94, CMC will also be covered.
 
Chromatic adaptation transform and colour appearance modelling
von Kries, CMCCAT2000, CAT02 [ CIE 160: A review of chromatic adaptation transforms]; CIECAM02 [CIE 159: A colour appearance model of colour management systems: CIECAM02]. An extended CIECAM02 version (CAM02-UCS) will also be introduced.
 
Colour Rendering Index
The CIE colour rendering index will be introduced. Demonstrations will be given to show the colour change of  physical samples across different CIE illuminants. In addition, formulation of lamps will be generated from a set of LED dataset and it will be replicated by an illumination device.
 
Activities in CIE Division 1 (Vision and Colour)
To introduce the CIE Division 1 activities in relation to the lighting industry.
 

Lecturer: Dr. Janos Schanda

 
Colour vision
Structure of the eye, the retina. Different light sensitive receptors, neural network in the retina, pathways to the visual cortex, cone fundamentals
 
Mesopic vision model and its application
History of mesopic photometry, the two CIE systems: “CIE supplementary system of photometry” and “Mesopic photometry based on visual performance”
 
Light and circadian
The third type of photoreceptor, the light sensitive ganglion cells, their function and influence on the human circadian system. Advantages (influencing the SAD syndrome) and dangers.
 
LED photobiological safety
Action of UV and visible radiation on human tissue (eye and skin hazards), photobiological safety of light sources, especially LEDs.
 
The nCRI colour rendering index
Colour fidelity metric, problem with the selection of test reflection samples, steps of the proposed nCRI system, comparison with visual experiments
 

Lecturer: Dr. Yoshi Ohno

 
Fundamentals of photometry and Colorimetry for LED
Quantities and units in photometry, principles in photometry & radiometry, geometrical relationship, colorimetric quantities for light sources
 
Measurement of LEDs and SSL
CIE 127, measurement of high power LEDs, practical sphere photometry, goniophotometry, spectral color measurement, measurement and testing of LED lamps, luminaires, and modules (CIE/CEN draft, IES LM-79, LM-82).
 
Standards of SSL
International activities – CIE standards and activities, CEN, IEC, IEA 4E SSL Annex, regional and U.S. standards – Energy Star, DOE programs, NVLAP accreditation, updates on IES LM-80, TM-21, ANSI C78.377.
 
The CQS colour rendering metric
Colour rendering and luminous efficacy, broadband vs. narrowband spectra,
problems of CRI with LED sources, perceived colour rendering, Hunt effect, proposed CQS metric, vision experiments.
