Calibration of an illuminance meter is indispensable for accurate measurement of the illuminance of indoor lighting and daylight. In recent years, because of the phasing-out of incandescent lamps and their replacement with LED lamps, it has become difficult to obtain an incandescent type standard lamp to calibrate an illuminance meter. To replace the standard lamp method, we constructed an illuminance meter calibration system based on an LED-based spectrally tunable light source. The approximate CIE Illuminant A spectrum realized by the LED-based spectrally tunable light source was controlled at various illuminance values (800–10,000 lx). A test illuminance meter was calibrated by comparison against a reference photometer with the realized approximate Illuminant A spectrum. The illuminance values measured using the reference photometer and using the test illuminance meter in the calibration system agreed within 2.5% without reference plane correction of the test illuminance meter, and within 1% with reference plane correction. Reference plane correction depends strongly on the measurement distance and the illuminance meter structure. This study demonstrated that it can be improved. Therefore, we infer that an illuminance meter calibration method using an LED-based spectrally tunable light source is a promising means of overcoming difficulties posed by the phasing-out of incandescent standard lamps.

ABSTRACT:It introduces a kind of an Automatic Calibration System, especially for long-term drift of oil tank gauging system. long-term drift serious influence on measuring the accuracy and reliability of the system. With theory of Hydrostatic Tank Gauging[1](HTG),as soon as the long-term drift occurring, the detection drift of oil pressure valueΔp will drift,and soon other the parameters of tank Gauging will be occurred. Because the value of Δp is difficult to directly determine, This paper puts forward a kind of automatic calibration method to obtain Δp according to the fuel level drift Δh) indirectly,By means of the HTG double level switches and fuzzy control theory. At last, by MATLAB simulation verify the correctness of the system design.

For the research of camera calibration in the system of grid strain measurement in sheet forming, the pinhole camera model, the nonlinear model of the camera and the binocular stereo model are analyzed, drawing a binocular stereo calibration method based on HALCON, which detailedly describes the calibration principle and specific calibration process. A binocular stereo vision calibration system based on VC6.0 is established, by which the influence on camera focus, distortion factor and principle points from the number of calibration images is verified by experiments.

The lighting of the operating/surgical site depends on the quality of the lighting from the overhead light source and the reflection from the curtain. Light measurement on the operating table is very necessary because it generates light that is irradiated into the cutting wound without dazzling the cutting surface so that pathological conditions can be recognized and must provide depth contrast and anatomical relationships, to ensure this proper calibration method is needed. Long-term use of medical devices can cause changes in accuracy. Therefore, the author makes a tool to measure the intensity of light which is equipped with a distance meter. The purpose of this study was to develop a measuring instrument for measuring the intensity of light in operating lamps, namely a luxmeter by making Luxmeter equipped with a TFT Display Distance Sensor. This tool uses an ultrasonic sensor HC-SR04 to measure the distance between the light source and the sensor module and the MAX44009 sensor to measure the light intensity of the operating lamp displayed on the TFT screen. Based on the module distance setting to the roll meter, the distance error value for the measurement of the Surabaya electromedical engineering workshop lamp at the 75 cm roll meter distance setting is 0.0127% for the 100 cm roll meter distance setting is 0.0045%. The error rate of the light intensity module on the results of the measurement of light intensity on the luxmeter by setting the roll meter distance of 75 cm between the tool and the lamp of the electromedical engineering workshop is getting an error value of 0.082% lux and for the light intensity on the results of the measurement of light intensity on the luxmeter with a roll meter distance setting of 100 cm between the tool and the lamp in the electromedical engineering workshop, that is, the error value of lux is 0.055%. The design of a luxmeter equipped with a proximity sensor can measure the intensity of light and the distance between the tool and the light source and can assist in the learning process with a more effective Luxmeter design that will assist electromedics in testing operating lamps in hospitals to be more efficient.

The oscillator strengths of 72 Si I-, Si II- and Si III-lines and multiplets in the wavelength region 1100 -2600 Å were measured in emission. The light source was a wall-stabilized arc burning in argon at atmopheric pressure into which small amounts of silicon tetrafluoride and fluorine were introduced. All oscillator strengths were measured relatively and then put on an absolute scale by using the value Anm = 1,64 · 108 sec-1 for the transition probability of the Si I-multiplet 2506 Å to 2528 Å. The vacuum-UV intensity calibration method using the central intensities of optically thick lines in the cascade arc was extended up to the wavelength 2516 Å. In this wavelength region it could be directly compared with the radiation of the anode crater of the carbon arc. Full agreement between these two intensity standards was found.

Abstract A laser interferometer technique has been developed for calibrating extensometers at the Ogdensberg Station of Lamont Geological Observatory. It provides remotecontrolled calibration of both horizontal and vertical extensometers within the linear range of the transducer output. The present calibration system consists of an electromagnetic driving unit and a Michelson interferometer. The transducer end of the extensometer is displaced longitudinally with an electromagnetic driving unit, which is excited by a variable low-frequency oscillator with a bandwidth of 0.0005 to 60 kHz. The resultant displacement is detected by counting fringe displacements of the interferometer with an Ne-He laser source. With this calibration system, motion as small as 0.03 micron can be determined with excellent repeatability and with errors of less than 5 per cent, in comparison with errors of more than 40 per cent for the optical calibration method previously used.
