Dr. Beamer's research program focuses on the use of High Dynamic Range imaging techniques for mapping scene Luminance. This technique is applicable for photometric characterization of inhomogeneous area source and distributed point source luminaire types. Dr. Beamer also uses HDRI to study glare due to various conditions found in architectural spaces and exterior spaces such as path and roadway scenes.
