Record 2 2017-05-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Optics
CONT

Photometry is the measurement and specification of light relating to its effect on vision. The eye can be regarded as a radiant energy detector with a selective spectral response. It is maximally sensitive to light of about 555 nm(yellow-green light) and relatively insensitive to red and blue light. The function describing the response of the human eye to different wavelengths is known as the relative luminous efficiency function, V([lambda]) or V’([lambda])...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Optique
CONT

Notations relatives à l'œil (photométrie). V([lambda]) : Fonction d'efficacité lumineuse relative spectrale en vision photopique, sans unité. V'(λ) : Fonction d'efficacité lumineuse relative spectrale en vision scotopique, sans unité.

Key term(s)

Record 7 2001-02-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Computer Programs and Programming
CONT

The RM-ODP identifies four types of reference points, any or all of which may be specified as conformance points in a particular hypermedia/multimedia standard or specification. They are :--Perceptual reference point....--Interworking reference point....--Interchange reference point....--Programmatic reference point, at which a programmable interface can be established to allow access to a function. An interface at a programmatic reference point corresponds to the common notion of an API. The programmatic reference point is of relevance to the multimedia/hypermedia reference model. The concepts for the placement and definition of APIs should be considered carefully.

OBS

The term(s) and supporting text have been taken from a document presented as a working draft of the Technical Report on Multimedia and Hypermedia: Model and Framework.
